I've started assembly of the kit. It's a unique design and looks like it was designed as a kit from the beginning. This is their first run so I needed some clarifications from them before I started. So far so good.
The sides are about .130" while the top is .125 as it comes with the kit. The screws are only used for clamping while the glue cures. The instructions say to remove the screws when done. Fingers crossed on the sound as this thing is going to be fairly heavy. Should I thin the top?
What type of top wood is it? I would probably thin it to 0.10 for softwood or 0.09 for hardwood....depending on the bracing.
My Stewmac stuff came today and I dove in and routed a channel and added purfling around the sound hole. It went well.

Did you use the "wick in superglue" method ?
