Further inspection, the laminated back is beautifully book matched. The solid top has a few flaws. Do I care? Frets are a bit sharp on the ends. Fit and finish is mostly very good. Finish is satin and feels thin. The neck feels good and I can wrap my thumb around to fret the low Es at the second fret -- barely. About the same as a Seagull S6, which is a really nice guitar with a pretty substantial neck. I looked for the big, solid block that my D25 has at the join at the neck inside the body. It isn't there.
I tuned it for the first time (don't laugh at me, too much anyway). That was a big milestone for me. I can't get over the sound! I'm using a stone pick to force me to use a light touch. The sound is big, chimey, nicely balanced between bass and treble. It is almost bigger than my voice after years of choir practice! Just a bit intimidating.
More later!
