SSJ Side assembly

I did side assembly for the SSJ model. SSJ model has African Black-wood (ABW) side and backs. ABW sides are much stronger and heavier than Myrtle wood version as you can see behind the ABW sides. For me, ABW is suitable for steel-strings guitars, because sides for the steel strings guitar require supporting strong string tension (pull) from the top. Also, Nylon strings players do not want to use heavy instrument. Myrtle sides are much lighter than ABW; however, Myrtle sides are strong enough for Nylon strings guitars. Both sides, I will use solid linings for the sound board side to make solid bonding between the top and sides. For the back side joint, I will use the Kerfed linings. Back board joint does not need strong support.
