Well, there it is in the final stages of brace carving. As one can see, it is a completely different bracing system than the normal "X" bracing system which has been in use for over 100 years. The "X" bracing is a very good thing, however, as it performs it's functions very well. That is it allows the bridge plate to vibrate and is strong enough to keep the top in place over the years. The "X" bracing system is also a bad thing. It is used all over the world, in literally millions of guitars. No innovations are forthcoming when the old standard is always used. One cannot blindly follow that what is done is the only Right way, as it is clearly not the case. We shall see how this experience is sound production works out. It will be a good guitar, but perhaps a great guitar.
