I've been quietly following along and learning from your posts, Tim. Thanks! One question that came to mind after reading your last post was, how does scale length affect your thicknessing and bracing, and/or voicing?
For example, a client orders two guitars, same model, same tone woods, same playing style and string gauge, etc., but wants one to a scale length of, say, 24.9 or 24.75, and the other to be 25.4 or 25.5.
So, how big of a difference might there be in the thickness of the top, or size of the braces between the two?
Is this essentially the same question you have to answer for a client who wants to build two identical guitars but one designed for medium gauge strings and the other for light gauge strings?
