Excellent looking build! I noticed a few problems that I feel I should point out in the interest of building a pre-war "cannon".
You used reversed kerfed linings and Martin uses triangular linings, so therefore, this guitar can never sound like a pre-war Martin. I hope you like being disappointed, because you ruined the whole guitar by using those modern techniques as well. Martin didn't use vacuum bags to glue their braces on the pre-war dreads either, so you pretty much screwed the pooch on this one.
OK...I'm just joking. But it is fun to poke fun at the traditionalists sometimes!

Well - I never said this one was going to be a pre-war and I was at least half right on the bracing. Go back to the bottom of page 2 and on page 3 to see where I glue up the top bracing using the go bar deck using HHG:)

You used HHG? Then it will be fine.

Today's progress (some of it anyway). Back is ready to glue and I'll do that in the morning.

The back is on and the neck is ready to inlay the headstock logo.
