Oh dear you have a problem to deal with. I thought my workspace was bad but I don’t feel so bad now. At least I can walk on the floor. This is mine today.

@boo
No worries I think there are some real electronics gurus in the forum so this is the place to ask. I only know the basics which aren’t that hard.

@robin My theory on bracing is that the standard X pattern and bracing sizes have been developed over a number of year by big manufacturers to give the best strength and flexibility, however using a different bracing angle just needs…   Read more»

@jonhodgson Fair point about the use of the word “thesis” and in a sense the term is academic (pun intended). Obviously if someone has made 1000 guitars then he’s worth listening to but I think he could use some help…   Read more»
