I have been working on a 14th fret joint 00-size using the black limba back and side. Top is a European spruce with Brazilian RW bridge plate and Adirondack spruce X-bracing. Rosetta is a spoiled Tamarindo and Padauk with black border. Side is a laminate using the limba and Yellow cedar. Bracing design is my standard scalloped X-bracing. This guitar does not have a cut-a-way, because of the small size. I do not want to loose the body space from the cut-a-way. To maintain equally good high position playability, I will use the sloped neck joint. It also called as the raised neck joint that has completely floating fingerboard extension above the 14th fret just like a arched top guitar. I also add a beveled edge to the body at the 14th fret neck joint. Those combination makes excellent high position access.
