triple top guitar with no bracing

I have been messing with my guitar and putting it throught a sound generator and frequency analyser to see how the natural resonance of the box is, and what frequencies are more prominant etc,
At the moment I get the feeling its a bit in G sort of, and the partials in B ,
however when I was looking at this stuff and getting more info to experiment with i came across this site and thought it may be of interest to luthiers, I also realise that you clever luthiers out there will already know a lot of this stuff , but still, I suppose you always need new ideas and ways to push the boundaries.
Interesting stuff like a double or triple top guitar with no bracing at all !!
its not too long to read anyway...
