Tony, Wud, thanks.
Wud, I like your idea of binding the soundholes. I'll definitely consider that the next time I build this model. I think it would look great.

O.K., here's the soundclip of the true acoustic sound of this guitar. It was recorded with an Oktava MK 319 Large Diaphragm Condensor mic about 10" from the sound hole. No effects added.

Sorry it took so long to get it posted, but I'm on dial up, and it took box 45 minutes for the add file page to load up so I could upload.
