  1. Soundboard
  2. Soundboard finished and installed

Fitted the braces and reinforcing ring to the inside of the soundboard.
Fitted the soundboard to the body. I suppose because of the heat wave last week, the sides got a little distorted. Had to glue the soundboard to the body while clamped to the t-track in order to ensure the neck surface was coplanar to the soundboard. After the clamps came off the next day, everything is nice and flat.
