I have only built the one acoustic guitar, my own but did so from scratch, and all by hand, I work in a wood machine shop but prefer using hand tools, I also do some wood Intarsia, I like acoustic music, mainly folk based but like most people enjoy many forms and styles of music.
I must say that I am finishing rather than starting! And have been concentrating on renaissance wire instruments instead of guitar for the last few years - and have never made a post-Torres guitar,....
I'm not sure which guitar you are talking about, but I haven't had a chance to complete the finish on the "Mae West" (as I call it) Lacote. I work 10 hour days, that doesn't leave me much time for the guitar hobby, this winter I will have time to finish the guitar. I do have the other narrower body Lacote strung up, it sings as sweet as a skinny, sexy mezzo soprano at the New York Met. I can't say enough about the copies of the 19th century guitars that I have made.
