I strung this up last week. Figured cherry with mahogany neck.
Happy with it. Nice playability and sweet sound. But I have a concern.
After less than a week, I've noticed a ripple in the top. Like you can see the torsion of the bridge, and it doesn't go away with releasing string tension.
The top is very thin, maybe too thin? There is very little in the way of bracing. Just a mahogany bridge plate/brace per the Martin plan I copied.
I first strung it up with nylon strings. Did not sound very good, and intonation problems. Switched to soprano/concert fluorocarbon string set, and intonation problem no more.
What should I do? Should I be worried? I have a crazy idea to try to add some braces, but not sure how I'd pull that off.
