This is a 7 string I finished 2 weeks ago. I followed the plan and did not change the bracing. Walnut, Lutz with rosewood fret board and bridge.

Has anyone built the small jumbo from the SM plans ? Some pictures of you efforts would be greatly appreciated as I am thinking of buying the plans and looking for material ideas? John |

Many thanks , would you do another off the same plan or plan to move onto something else? It looks like a very comfortable size , does the sound live up to the looks ? John |

I would do more from the same plan, (building a parlour at the moment) but will point out it is seriously overbraced as per the drawings, and would recommend taking the advice available from other members here. I find it comfortable, but I am, shall we say, on the large side.., It's not much bigger than an OM, but slightly deeper IIRC. Soundwise? Well my one has a thin top and tall double X bracing (main X braces are 18mm x 6mm, unscalloped), and sounds loud and responsive but a bit too bright and thin a sound for my taste. |

Strange as I was under the impression it was smaller than an OM, I suppose I am looking for a parlour with a bit more noise |

Very nice, did you stick with traditional back bracing ? |
