Heel Block - Body Joint Repaired

I glued some mahogany pieces (about 1 inch square, with an angle cut out to make room for the kerfed lining) to the side of the mahogany heel block and to the top. I was pretty sure that I hadn't been able to get enough glue into the space where the heel block had pulled free from the sides, so I thought this extra reinforcement might do the job.

And it worked! Several days later, the strings are up to tension (tuned down a note to D) and the repair is holding.

I will post some pictures of the interior bracing; the area in front of the sound hole is now much more heavily braced, while the top behind the sound hole is still the lightly braced Gibson design. I'll also post a recording so you can hear what it sounds like.
