Hybrid X bracing
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my finished Tasmanian Tiger Myrtle OM, in gratitude of the help I received.
Early in 2020 I sought advice on using a hybrid lattice brace for an OM acoustic I was building at the time.
Wayne Mcphee was incredibly helpful in sharing his bracing layout which I used, as was Trent Palelei from Brisbane guitar making school who's also a member here.
Specs on the guitar are as follows
Top: Old growth Master grade Sitka Spruce
Back and sides: Tasmanian Tiger Myrtle
Neck:The 7 piece bolt on neck in Qld walnut with thinner laminations of Qld maple and crows ash to create the striping
Body join 12th fret
Scale length 25.34"
K & K pure mini passive pickup
and Gotoh 510 tuners
Hope you enjoy the photos and I will try to post a video

Great photos of the guitar build. I like all of the guitar features that fit together with the back and sides in Tiger Myrtle.
