To the OP:
Now that the wise-guys are done, I think you are getting a LOT of good insight. Keep it up. It's a journey, not a destination. Chris

http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...d.php?t=359560. I`m not sure how you connected that to this. I thought the loose soundboard would work but it was just a dream that i sunk way too many resources in. I abandoned trying to be fancy and went back to pure function, thats how i arrived in this new Hybrid mocel. The hybrid guitar uses a traditional principle of making sound (a soundbaord attached to the guitar). The loosetop was a theoretical experiment that failed. The R&D from the unibody went into this model. I will use composite component that has a back, sides, neck and head from a laminated composite component, but the front is completely made of wood (and traditional method of producing sound.

I enjoy the journey as well, but it's always important to focus on the goal! That IS what we ultimately must achieve, especially if we have investors and customers. The journey is just a means to an end, but yes it should be enjoyed as well. |

The goal IS the direction, the journey merely takes you there!

I have a bracing pattern from the 3 old prototypes, made from 0.6 millimeter thick carbon fiber strips (0,023inch). They are very flexible for the top to go up and down but strong in the lenght. This was sufficient for nylon, but it could not handle the steelstring string tension. This is the pattern : They will also have bracings made from wood. This pattern comes from the archtop carved top guitars : The wooden bracing will be very small on nylon and larger on steelstring. Their purpose is just to make sure the top stays level. I am placing this wood where there was a deformity in the steelstring prototype. I glued spruce and ceder together for bracings, these are cut from soundboard wood with a faulty fretslot blade that was too wide.

Why two woods for the braces?

Hopefully this will give some of the brightness of spruce and some warmth from cedar, so basicly to promote a balanced soundprofile.
