My First J-45...

Actually it will be a J-50 style because it will have a natural top. I finished closing the box on this one today.

I like the shape of those instruments. Very guitary. You continue to put out a great product.

I'm wondering, did you modify the outline?

Ha Ha. Ever so slightly! Tell me what you think it is and I'll tell you if you are right.

Did you pull the waist in a little bit?

Yes, as Dave says, the waist has an inverted "point". But the lower bout looks less flat on the bottom, also.
