I needed a little more works before closing box. The top needed to install two horizontal braces. Lower horizontal brace is for preventing the drumming noise. Without this horizontal bar, a guitar makes drum like noise when you touch strings. Upper horizontal brace is for spreading neck pressure from strings pull into sides. Therefore, this brace has no cross section shaping for weight reduction. This brace needs strongest possible structure.
I also installed three anchor post inserts for an arm-rest. Those are made by Maple.
For the back lattice, I installed patches for cross joints for improving structural stability without significant weight increase. Those patches are made by Maple. After glue the back, I will spray couple of coats of nitro cellulose lacquers. Also, I will apply couple of Shellac coats over the top before glue the top.
