OK, thanks everybody. Anders, I am familiar with this idea of pulsation. Do you think it affects the left hand too?? I'm not building a copy and I treat each soundboard as an individual, thinning it according to how it feels, and then thinning the braces and the edge of the soundboard while playing it to fine tune it. This is a not-super-stiff top with a little runout. Basically what I need to know is, how is this pulsation controlled? I purposely brace lightly under the bridge to try to control it. but when I've used bridge patches or stiffer bracing, or a stiffer top, the pulsation, to my hands, hasn't changed. All my guitars, to me, feel easy to play. Once again, this is the LEFT hand we're talking about, not the right. Thanks. Oh and I do offer a return policy for a full refund, less any damage to the guitar. It looks like it's going to be taken advantage of because the client seems very discouraged, but I told him to keep it for a few days, try different strings, play it in a bit, etc...[:o]
