More guitar conversions

As many of you know, I often will convert a modern Martin guitar to a post dated spec, most often, 1937. Currently I have 4 conversion commissions in the shop of which two will be done to the D28 spec of red spruce top and herringbone. The other two are unique in that one is being changed to a 12 string 42 spec and the other to D45.
I will highlight the process as it shapes up. The pics will start soon and I hope you will all learn a bit in repair and old pre-war Martin specs.
Watch for Updates coming soon.

This is cool John, I'll be very interested in this, especially the D45.
My next guitar is a EIR/Sitka sort of D45. I'd like it to have that look, but not be a copy.
I have the materials, need to see the bracing.
