Forget L-00 has been thought of as a 'blues' guitar. I want to build L-00 shape, Macassar-Italian, finger-picker.
QUESTION: I want to produce the best OVERALL FINGERPICKER from this shape.
If you were building this guitar for me.
What bracing pattern and type woul you use.-light Martin X, Gibson origional?
What other changes?
Thanks,

You know Todd,
I intended to build L-00 to specs (Honduran B/s) except for Top-Addi or Alpine Italian-(any suggestions?) after I completed customized edition. Your idea makes much more sense!
Thank you,

For that size guitar I wouldn't dismiss John How's ladder bracing. As I said, the best sounding guitar on the forum.

Does it make it easier for the sound to climb out?
