^ That thing is sweet!
Here's a pic of a guitar I made back in 1999 out of a pine shelf in my dad's garage from 1963 about. It's more a parlor size, but it's a non cutaway 12 fret to body, so it sounds much bigger than it is. This and the national sit by my computer as I peruse ppot.
I took it into a guitar store in the early 2000's and it sounded equivalent to a mid range martin. It wasn't as nice as a 'hit it out of the ballpark' martin, but, for a pine top which motor oil was stored on for 30+ years, I was more than pleased. 20 years later, it's still a favorite.
