Soundboards

Soundboard bracing in the fine instrument world is little bit of a mystery, makers like to keep their patterns and weights a secret. Perhaps some think that they have done something different and will be copied or perhaps some, like me, love the element of mystery that goes along with instrument making. Building a guitar isn't a mystery to me, I can see and feel how it works but it would be very difficult to show someone that understanding of feeling that creates the good soundboard, so that's maybe the mystery.

Jings!! On with the build!
