While I await USPS to deliver, I started to remove the existing warped and cracked braces.
The next picture is one end of the cross brace , between the sound hole and the neck block. It's not going back in.
Each forward end of the main X brace has an issue. The upper bout end is cracked and the lower bout is all but unglued back to the X. I suspect its warped from the extended misalignment and top bow.
Like I said, braces are coming, along with cleats and top repair wood.
Meanwhile I want to remove the gauze reinforcement. The work is tight, tedious, and rewarding.
