Here's my latest, just finished up yesterday. It's 13" across the lower bout and the scale is 24.75". I did tapered x-braces for the first time on this one and graduated the top thinner toward the edges. I'm happy with how it sounds and it's plenty loud. I really like the figuring on this ziricote set.

Ziricote back and sides
Carpathian spruce top
Peruvian walnut neck
Ebony fretboard
Ziricote bridge
Curly koa binding

Here's the closest thing I have to a close up of the back of the neck.

Where do you come by your Curly Koa binding material Jay? The little I have is well guarded.

I got a bunch of it from Bob Gleason of Pegasus Guitars in Hawaii. Really nice stuff.

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. I just got back from the first day of the Northwest Handmade Musical Instrument Exhibit and of the three guitars I brought, this was the one that people homed in on the most. Players who tried it out were surprised by how full it sounds. I was surprised by the number of people who expressed a very specific interest in parlor size guitars.
