Thanks to Antonio Cobra from Portugal for making this video of #129 and letting me use it here:

The bracing finished

The bracing for this hybrid guitar is based on my old 7 strut flamenco bracing. I use 5 struts for pure flamenco these days (years)  It gives a bit more control over the surface with some more harmonics and sustain

Headstock and bracing

So, I´ve finished the headstock and I´m working on the bracing as well.

A quick view into the workshop

Making the headstock with all kinds of tools involved

The soundboard with rosette for #131

This is a very beatifull piece of cedar. Very consistent color. I have made the white rings in the rosette a little wider than normal in order to make it stand out more clearly.
