Acoustic Guitar Construction

So this is the third restart on a guitar for this grandson.
Now the guitar is Sapele with a spruce top. The Sapele neck I started on will go on this guitar.
Fretboard will be Indian Ebony. Bindings pretty sure will be black walnut as will the end wedge, but I may use Olive burl here.. I think the headstock veneer too. Not sure about the bridge, but I may use some claro walnut, olive, or ebony, same for the rosette; undecided.

The end blocks are glued to the sides, the back is joined with a walnut center strip and the inside cedar back strip is glued on. All bracing will be sitka, bottom linings will be solid redwood, and the top linings will be mahogany kerfing......just cause I can, I have some left over short pieces I'm going to use up here.

I have the back made and braced, but not carved. I have the linings installed on the rims, and an Olive wood end wedge installed. I have the top thicknessed to .110" with a bwb/walnut/bwb 5/8" wide rosette installed. Ready to start making top braces.
Trying to catch up for lost time and maybe still be able to spray lacquer on this guitar before it gets beastly hot here by the end of June.

Rosette installed, walnut ringed with bwb.

Here are pics of the back and top bracing. I actually have the box closed with the bindings and purflings now installed and all scraped and sanded down.
I'll post a pic of the box later.

Super clean!
Do you use an x-brace patch?

Dave there is a spruce bridge over that joint. Can't really see it in the pic can you.

Your work is TOO CLEAN! ;-)
