I'd like to see/hear the guitar, Dave. You can resize pics with this free download if you use windows:

Regarding my guitar, the consensus of a number of people (players and luthiers) was:
It had pretty good balance but possibly deficient in treble, though good bass response.
It lacks projection or volume, though I think most of them were probably comparing it to the Martin dreadnoughts they all seem to have. But everybody was very interested and encouraging.
Suggestion for improvement:
Decrease the mass associated with bridge (including associated strut supports)
Make vertical struts more flexible to allow the bridge more freedom to move/rock (but still need enough stiffness to keep the top flat)
Brace the treble side of the soundboard around the bridge to increase stiffness there and augment the treble response
Use medium gauge (instead of light) strings to drive the soundboard harder
Try nylon strings for lower tension (with lower opposing torque from the struts) and see if this increases the volume
I have some ideas to work on some of these things - I'll see what happens. Any suggestions appreciated.
