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
