You should bring/shave the whole upper bout down a bit, not reshape but just move it a bit. The gap between the points where the body joins the neck on each side looks huge from the front. Otherwise is looking good!

Wow, Robert, I'm impressed. I know it's what you do and all that, but actually seeing pictures of it taking shape from scraps of wood is magic.
