I have a question, hoping someone can answer. According to my plans, the upper and lower transverse bars aren't feathered down to nothing like the fans, actually, they don't show any tapering down at all. So, as you can see in the above picture, I've decided to leave a 1/8 of an inch, just like classical guitars. But when I look at lukemoon's Santos pattern, he almost feathers them down to nothing so I'm wondering if someone could enlight me up on the matter. Same goes for the back bracing pattern... plans show nothing at all, except that there are 3 braces 17mm tall at some places (distances aren't written on the plans either, but can be measured easily). I have no idea about the arch offset of those braces, nor the height of the taper... is it because there are some classical "standards" I am not aware of? I was planning to use Cumpiano's book classical guitar pattern with 3 braces instead of 4. Any inputs? Regards

Hola all, Been gone awhile...... Wanted to build another guitar - and seeing these pics and progress - even more so. Don't have access to the shop, maybe sometime later, as that was a one-time offer, but I've had 3 or 4 serious inquiries about building for others, soooooo..... Just don't know; jump in, buy lots of tools, or just do what DoctorX and Lukemoon are doing; with what you have and have fun for yourself.... Think I'm about to dive in again....lol. The pics and progress of others are inspirational! PS....Someone played my #1 at a dance class the other night, and as I walked across the room, I cannot believe what a cannon it is! Almost as loud as the guitar that's amp'd! :-)
