Nice little guitar [:Y:] I specifically like the looks of the rosette with that pickguard. They compliment each other quite well.

If your weakness is finishing you might give lacquer a try. You can get both the sealer and finish in spray cans and it is very forgiving. Since lacquer dries very fast you can sand and flaws out and re-coat it pretty easily. And since you usually wet sand and buff it out it is hard not to get a really nice shine with it.

Nice job on this little beauty!

Cheers,
Bob

That is a beautiful little guitar. I really like the small size guitars like this one. What bracing
did you use? I made a size 5 Martin, a bit bigger than this one, and used a tailpiece and
an archtop style bridge. It's held up well, but I do see a depression around the bridge,
consistent with the strings pulling straight down. I used a standard X bracing.

I agree with Bob, I really like the rosette and pickguard. Very nice design, and the woods
complement each other.

Nice guitar, Harry! Lovely rosette and pickguard. Interesting to see a tailpiece on a new flat-top. Not often used nowadays, but a very popular configuration years ago, and one I think can have an excellent tong.

Hi, Gene, I use No bracing because the Back acrh style, and the bridge actually archtop bridge style but I use no bottom part.
when I tried full style archtop bridge style, that's too high because the neck angle not fit with it. duh, so I loosen the bottom part

Very cool. I've had a Style 5 on my "to do" list for a while now.
I like the look with a tail piece and that rosette is very cool
