Won't be blogging all of this but I will show progress pics. This is Honduran Mahogany and will have a Sitka top. 1 3/4" at the nut, 2 1/4" bridge spacing, 24.9" scale. I'm a ways along as I put in the side reinforcements today. Will be starting a 00 style next week - Cedar top, Eastern Black Walnut B/S and of course I will be finishing the J-45 (J-50) next week.

More progress. I got the box closed, and the FB slotted and tapered.

Get in that Troji! Sides sanded and scrapped and after lunch (which is now in about 10, no make that 9, minutes) I will cut the binding channels:)

I got this guitar finished last week but with the local music festival (I had a booth) and the International Bluegrass Music Association Conference in Raleigh, I didn't have the time to take pics and post but here they are now.

BTW, I used the new Martin Tony Rice Monel strings and they are awesome. I am seriously considering a switch.
