Dermot McIlroy Guitar bracing
I am really interested in McIlroy guitars. They are beautiful and sound amazing, honestly some of the most beautiful sounding guitars I've heard. But I can't find much about his method of bracing. Does anyone know anything (or have an pictures) of the type of bracing he does on his guitars?

Being that his guitars sound a lot like Lowdens and he worked for Lowden in the beginning it's safe to say their bracing patterns are closely related in appearance and function. McIlroys do typically have larger sound holes.

I suspected that... I have seen only 1 photo from his facebook which glimpses the bracing, and what I can see looks to have some differences (you can only see a fraction of it though). Which prompted me to search out more info. I'm just a nerd about this stuff

Dermot has a couple carving pics on instagram showing some of the pattern. It looks similar to Lowden except the tone braces below the bridge plate look different, at least partly, shown from an angle. You could email him as he is good about answering, though he will likely describe generally and not send a pic or we would have seen one at this point if he wanted that out there.
*oh you already found facebook pics. Last edited by fregly; 11-19-2022 at 05:21 AM. |

I had an A69 all Koa and the bracing on it is high and thin. It’s the only McIlroy I’ve had but it was very energetic and lively.
