The way I tune the voice in a guitar is first, I make sure everything in the building process is done and balanced as correct as it can be, and then for the final tuning, I adjust the bracing by using a slight sanding-polishing method to bring each brace into a synergistic relation with the other braces to finalize and create total harmony, as best I can. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn_ftUZWUdp9OzO-aOAFRUg This final tuning helps set the articulation and top tension, as well. Also, the top tuning can be adjusted up or down in its key, to a certain extent, with how the braces are treated in the adjustment phase. But there will come a time when it's better to stop the tuning process, or you will lose the gain you have created.
