X-Bracing

     I completed X-bracing based top making. This bracing design is for the SSJ model. This top bracing work has not been done for scaropping work. Bracing material is the Adirondack spruce and Madagascar RW for the bridge plate. Brazilian RW is the best for the bridge plate; however, due to the limit-ted availability, I have been using the Mad RW.
     This page also shows Nylon top using the Balsa wood lattice with Epoxy Carbon fiber laminate. This top is for the Classical guitar. Classical guitar has more modernized design than Steel-strings guitar. We should say that Steel-strings guitars are classical, because from a view point of guitar design and structure evolution, Steel strings guitars has not been changed since the X-bracing was invented by Martin Guitars.
