Can anyone tell me how Martin does the right angle joint between the cutaway section and the section along the top of the guitar (under the neck heel)? I have looked at this many time and can not see a where it is jointed together. The grain seems to run though the joint.

Most likely it's mitred then.

I like to do them that way, just mitered for a good tight fit. Nice and clean IMO.

Mitered for a nice tight fit, and then GENTLY roll the edges.
It will look like all one piece IF done properly
