diazf -> Spanish Cedar Blanca (Jun. 27 2010 17:00:44)
|
Hi alll-- I'm building two Blancas, both based on the Reyes plan. 1. Engelmann Spruce top with Spanish Cypress 2. Sitka Spuce top with Spanish Cedar Questions are: - Anyone ever build a Blanca with Spanish Cedar back and sides? Lining, Bracing and neck are also Spanish Cedar. Does the extra stiffness of the Sitka overpower the Spanish Cedar in any way? - I'm thinking to brace the Engelmann top with the Sitka fan struts and the Sitka top with the Engelmenn fan struts. Reason being is the Sitka is stiffer than the Engelmann and thought this could balance the top stiffness. Is a Sitka top with Sitka fan bracing overly stiff unless I thin the part some more? Appreciate any advice from the forum. Thanks. --F. Diaz
