Here is a flamenco blanca that I completed last week. It's a departure from building steel strings. Had a lot of fun trying something new. Used plans for a Santos Hernandez. Top = Port Orford Cedar B & S = Monterey Cypress Neck = Sp Cedar Finish is french polish (first time for me and it was a lot of work) |

This is my 116th guitar completed in July. Back,sides, bridge, bindings, headstock face and rosette background are all from the same billet of Brazilian Rosewood that was at least 30 years old that I know of. The top is Italian Alpine Spruce. The bridge tie block cap is Arctic Muskox horn burl and the tuners are Graf THe top bracing is a twin fan lattice. The top is sloped resulting in an elevated fret board. The construction is a modified Spanish heel. Linings are laminated oak. Here is some geometry Attachment: Bracing~focus.jpg Attachment: Side elevation.jpg A photo of the interior Attachment: Assembly 004.jpg Exterior photos Attachment: AA~001.jpg Attachment: AA~002.jpg Attachment: AA~003.jpg Attachment: AA~004.jpg Attachment: AA~005.jpg

Mflaza: 116 guitars is just amazing! I'm not a classical builder, but I've never seen bracing laid out like that. What is the background on that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised it got to 116 myself. The bracing pattern was originally developed by Greg Byers (a well known American classical guitar maker) in response to the lattice bracing design that has become quite common over the past 20 years or more.. Some of us consider a focused fan bracing design to be important to the tonality we want to achieve so a lattice design made up of parallel struts is not an option. This design utilizes two sets of focused fans. One is rotated clockwise and the other counter clockwise. In my variation there are 6 struts that are low & wide and 8 that are tall and narrow. The total mass of all 14 struts is about the same as the strutting in a normal 7 fan system. I've been using for the past 7 ears and it seems to work quite well. |
