Hi I have built five the ones that were like the Martin model that Kingston trio guy played seam to be the best ones to copy I have made two that were more like Gibson lo's they are good but for some reason the Martin is better. I brace the top light there is not much string tension. I have getting finished now and they have deferent fret scales so I don't know if one is better yet maybe next week. I think the Martin model is t15 or something. Lee
