Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Did you use your MIT Math doctorate skills to find a better way to brace acoustic guitar tops? or is it an intuitive thing you devised?

Yeah, I've got time to do it still. The tools aren't going anywhere. My ideas aren't going anywhere.

And, there's some math and physics involved. Instead of bracing the saddle in the top, why not make it 'float' and actually be braced to the back of the guitar. That'd also pass some resonance back to the back. I'd also like to concave both the back and top.

I like your idea of bracing the saddle to the back, and that got me imagining bracing it to both the top and the back, but I don't know how that would sound, most likely it would sound like a guitar, but who knows.

I don't want to brace it too much, it still has to vibrate. So, the idea is to leave it floating on the top and then brace to the back - along with a brace that goes straight to the butt of the neck and opposite. So, the brace for the saddle would look like a + but all on the back. It'd float free, completely unattached to the top in any way.
