Thanks Tony, I like the lattice bracing although I am not ready for that yet, This guitar is just a little casual project (ooo-14) with some wood and a neck I have collected. I am still thinking of a 00 12 fretter , or a palor style guitar for this cedar top for later on. Any recommendations for a nice sounding small body guitar? For now I will use the Engleman spruce top I have left over from my last guitar build. I used my new side bender I built from plans, with a heated blanket /slats over the weekend and my friend and I bent sides with no practice (Just alot of reading here on the forum) just went right to bending like you have mentioned in your posts) My Ind. Rosewood sides came out great, and my buddy was brave and bent a set of really nice ($300.00) Zircote and they came out great too! Thanks for the cool links to the lattice bracing! Jack .

That size 2 is a winner. I'm encouraging my 2 new students in the direction of KMG kits size 2.

Wow very nice! I love the sound and the shape. Thanks for posting the info Ken and Preston. Well this will be the one I will build with this sinker cedar top, just need to pick the back/side wood now. Looks like a fun project and a great little guitar. Thanks Guys, Jack.

This cracked me up. I pictured a Keebler elf or a leprechaun building a guitar.
