How long has Martin Brunkalla been making these? It is for me personally, yet another guitar that predates (the label says "2005" on the Brunkalla in this thread) many of the ideas that I thought I "invented". The bridge looks very close to a bridge technology ("Stress free bridge") patented by Ned Steinberger and Steve Grimes in 1995. If the rear "saddle" lifts the strings to the same height as the string height at the (real) saddle, then I think it is actually an adaptation (whether purposely or not) of Steinberger's and Grimes's patent.
I have to laugh looking at the carbon fiber rods extending from neckblock to tailblock. Laugh only because it is something else I thought was innovative for 5 of my guitars in progress. (I used a triangulated approach to suspended bracing last time - and figured this straight path was simpler.) I'm using wood dowels instead of carbon fiber rods, but have not ruled out carbon fiber.
With no soundboard bracing in the Brunkalla guitar, I guess it must be a true flattop. I'm using a single transverse brace beneath the bridge/saddle, which will hold an arch in the top, and very small radial braces which (in my "mind's ear") should help to quickly spread the vibrations across the top, and to bolster trebles. I don't doubt that Brunkalla's "New Tradition" has very powerful bass, I think the design is kind of optimized for bass. Even after hearing the audio portion of that YouTube video, I suspect the tonal range of the guitar leans toward bass. I'm hoping the modifications I'm doing will keep the bass and mid bass, and open up the high mids and trebles, to make my next attempt better balanced.
Thanks to Chris Oliver for posting this, and hey Grumpy, you did not jump up and down loudly enough - I never heard you!
