Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). 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.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

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.

interesting.

I think I am picturing what you mean.

You're thinking connecting it to the top would limit the vibrations?

Not thinking, knowing. I know it would. If we can move that vibration, the energy that is the sound, into the body of the guitar we can get a more rich and vibrant tone. Well, we should be able to. The physics works on paper. The soundhole would enlarged a little and reshaped so that it went back all the way to the saddle.

I didnt think about the hole but yeah you could move the hole right up to the bridge

I can. I can make it right around the goddamned bridge if I want. I can make the hole any goddamned shape I want!

Anyhow, the saddle itself is what needs to be affixed. The bridge around it, of course. The saddle is where the strings end their vibration and I want it to be firmly fixed. That fucker should have like no play in it.

one with the bridge in the center of the sound hole would be a mindfuck
