Scott : here's a link to the front http://www.flickr.com/photos/17737782@N05/3515298861/sizes/o/
You also get a view of my cat. If you browse to the next photo on my foto stream there's a close up of the bridge. I don't have a close up of the heel , but it's a standard small ice cream cone . Not much to look at considering the veneer had warped and became unglued. The guitar itself is a bit of a wreck with a lot of severe worm damage.

Hello Mel, could you post a couple photos of the front of the guitar? And the neck/head joint?

I've not seen a Fabrictore with angled transverse brace (mind you I've only had access to the inside of a relatively small number) so this is interesting for me. There were quite a few builders in the family, any indication which one might have built this guitar?

You might be familar with this fellows work. He's done a fair bit of research on the family and their instruments. I found him a good resource on one that I worked on a couple years ago.
