Try checking on Ebay. I've found some decent prices for guitar wood there. oruss

Hello, I'm new to this board. I was wondering if anyone has experimented with different guitar braces and positions. I have a background in metal cutting and forming and stresses in materials. Bracing as I see it in guitars really doesn't make a lot of sense for the loads that are applied by the strings. Has it been, "well we've always done it this way, and we'll continue." Has anyone done a scientific study on where the bracing really needs to be?
