First Acoustic Build, gift to my bra

Gave my first acoustic guitar build to my bra for Christmas. The guitar’s neck finally set in, giving more pull. Had to adjust the saddle height and nut height lowered. Went a bit too far on treble side and had to put the mini shim back underneath that Heath made.
Might be furniture touch up markers. Might have found some in store on PCH. Need to go back, the colors are useful I think. Heath told me to test markers on and then applied the gel satin and then checked for smearing.
42 mm neck like on strats and a custom headstock that I’m thinking about putting on my electric guitars.
Very pleased with sound. Soundboard carving that Victor showed me made it really bright. I did not cathedralrilize the tone bars and made traingular and also smoothed out everything for more harmonics. Took a lot off tone bars to make more brighter.
Initially sounded brighter than my Taylor but bass sound finally came in. Sort of a scooped sound I guess. The thin finish really helps the guitar resonate and bra definitely loved the feel of it.
