The top is a carved arch top, back is pressed into a 15' radius dome so not totally flat. I doubled up thickness by the control cavity so i could drill a grain matched and cross laminated cavity cover.
Top has 2 chunky parallel braces. Back has 3 smaller parrallel braces on the slant, and a couple of extra flat braces to hold the cavity cover in place.

Cant wait to add the flamed maple binding to this

I could also potentially get one under the f-hole for 2 vol/2 tone.

The other consideration is how to route the wires so they are as hidden as possible. I don't mind one wire crossing the f-hole, wouldnt want to see a rats nest.

I've stained the cover supports so only the main braces are visible through the f-hole. I've also added a label with a model name of "La Ville". It seemed a fitting choice as Paul Languedoc and I both have last names that come from places in France

Still need to tidy up some details on it.

Parts are badly placed there, but you get the idea

The self builds just take longer to get between stages especially stuff with thin plates, it needs a long time to settle between each stage. Its been strung up with a test fit of parts and a few things tweaked along the way
