It's Done!

This shows the bottom after the clamps and rubber bands have been removed.

The excess overhang of the bottom was then trimmed off with the laminate trimmer, and the body removed from the form. Here's a shot of the fit of the back in the sides. You can see on the first fully visible brace how the lining was trimmed to allow the brace to come in contact with the sides of the guitar.

Once this was done, the body was re-inserted into the form with the back facing down, in preparation to have the top glued on.
