Hello folks, I have an inexpensive Kay ladder braced bolt on neck acoustic guitar that I wanted to use as the basis for an experiment with a different brace pattern. I am uncertain what the best approach is and was hoping for some insight. I thought I was going to remove and reuse the existing top, but so far I have not figured out how to get it off without destroying it. Is there another better approach? Since the neck is a bolt on, removing the top would be easier than on a standard guitar where the fretboard is glued to the top, but maybe approaching it from the backside would be easier? Thank you
