Sycamore back and sides, spruce top, etc.
I like the 'violin' type edge look, but don't knock it against anything hard.
Thin box, very balanced tone, not too bass.

Love that heel inlay. Is the whole neck Lacewood?

that looks nice. I like the violin style overhang too, too bad it can be so vulnerable. One thing that would help is if you used a purfling line then install a binding that overhangs. A hardwood of similar color would be ideal but even a binding of the same top wood would be less prone to splitting along short grain.

Thanks! It's a square neck, solid lacewood neck, and the heel cap is there because I
had problems with the neck angle, and had to cover up a big mess.
