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.

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.
