Hello, Has anyone found a good archive of Martin or just x-bracing pictures? I'm interested in dred, 000, 00. Someone here posted a while back to the UMGF but those pictures seem to be more of bracing layout. I'm more interested in height, width, etc... I'm getting a little stuck in paralysis by analysis but I thought looking at a few pics of bracing would help out some. Brad |

It's Brazilian rosewood, as Larson's did it. I preferred not to use artificial materials for the tonal properties in the instruments. The CF "Tone Tubes" didn't contribute to the tone, they were structural. |

Hi Colin, Here is an article Edwinson lutherie might be interested in perusing www.earlymartin.com/fanbraces.html. There isn't much new under the sun.  With the past few guitars I have been using the 7 fan Torres pattern combined with an X brace that touches the soundboard at the sides and where the X crosses. So far I like it. |

I copied Steven Sheriff's "Edwinson" bracing scheme on a couple of guitars and was pleased with the results -- a warm, fairly balanced tone with lots of "mids." I'm using a more conventional bracing pattern on my current build; let's see how it compares. |

One of our local luthiers has some very detailed tracings of several of his pre-war Martin and Gibson guitars. If you use the right material and follow closely the results can be spectacular. This is a Red Spruce, Panamanian Rosewood D-28 Herringbone, bracing copied from an original 1937 Herringbone. Other than a Black Locust bridge plate its really close John Hall has some good information also |
