Lattice Bracing

For the Jazz Nylon model, I installed lattice bracing. This time, I used the Balsa wood for bracing. Bracing weight is only 8 grams before shaping. This weight is approximately 3-times lighter than Spruce based lattice bracing. After shaping the Balsa bracing, I also installed Carbon fiber filament using Epoxy. Additional Epoxy weight is approximately 2-grams. So, the Carbon fiber laminated lattice bracing top has super light weight. Top material is Spruce and thickness is between 1.3mm and 2mm depending on location. Although the top has super thin profile, Epoxy Carbon laminated top is super strong and stable against climate change.

Next week, I will work for the X-bracing for the steel strings model.
