Getting farther along in the bracing...



Doing a lattice like this definitely has its tricky parts, especially the braces that intersect on the bridge plate. Both of those braces are notched out at the proper angle and height to fit perfectly over the bridge plate and the brace on top also has to be notched to fit over the braces underneath as well. To complicate things further, the braces that intersect closest to the tail block are splayed out slightly to get a more even distribution of support. That means a lot of the notches are not only different heights but different angles as well!

Today I'll glue on the x-brace and fingerboard pad and start carving the braces and tuning the top. Ideally, the top will go on tomorrow!
