rojarosguitar -> RE: Too thin bracing? (Apr. 27 2014 20:12:08)

I think the question itself shows that you shouldn't order isolated parameters from your luthier. To take up the picture of Anders Eliason, you're well entitled to ask for a more percussive sound or whatever you want sound wise (like you would order your steak medium), and leave it to knowledgeable luthier to make the right choices to achieve that. Just the issue of braces: you can achieve the same stiffness with taller and narrower or lower and wider braces, as well as through choosing different woods and also cross section profiles, and each choice will have different implications for the sound ... The top of a guitar is a rather complex thing and it's the skill of the luthier to have experience and intuition what and how to do.
