I built a Siminoff F4 kit last year and I have finally got around to posting a series of photos and commentaries about it, which can be accessed at:

Enjoyed the pics Rick! That scroll looks daunting!!! <smile>
You did a fine job. Do you like how it sounds? Is there only one brace on the entire top (the cross grain brace near the bridge)?

Hi Daryl,
I thought it sounded pretty good, until I had a chance to play a 1920's F4 at Mandolin Brothers! Oh well...
Yes, there is only one brace on the top, though it is of course fairly thick.
