I have just finished glueing the braces on top and back of my first build, an SJ body. However I have no ideal as how to or where to start shaping/carving the top braces. I would really appciate if you guys can show me bracing on your Small Jumbo guitar and maybe even some measurement/demension. Thank you, David |

David my friend here is one I completed in early 2008: All braces below the UTB are .28 thick and shaped into triangular cross sections. The X intersection is about .500" high before it was capped with a 1/16" cap. The sound hole supports are 1/8" high and 1/4" wide. The UTB is .500 wide and 5/8" high. |
