I'm guessing the warmth of the guitar comes from no soundhole and 14's. I'm just really happy with the sound of this instrument. I will add that the lid on this particular box is a full quarter inch thick (which is 6.3mm, yes?) Anyway, it is a very thick top so I went with the 14's to give it a bit more string energy.  The absence of a soundhole was not  a plan, but I got everything together and noticed I had skipped that step.  It sounded good unplugged and I saw no reason to do anything extra.

Ah yes, the Murphy's Law git. I have had a few of those myself Charlotte.

I felt like naming this guitar "Murphy's Law" because something went wrong with every step that would justify doing that step over. Instead I made a repair of each of my mishaps and in the end it is my best and worst.  I think it is the best sounding cbg I have made and the most cosmetically flawed.  

The guitar is plugged into a Roland CM-30.  The strings are 14's which I think helps the sound, but the action is pretty low so it is playable.  When she switches back to her baritone ukulele she can really tell the difference.
