This photo shows the last two back braces being attached. The bracing system on the back of the guitar isn't nearly as extensive or complicated as the bracing of the top. Note that the braces actually have an arch to them, so a ring of cardboard is placed under the lip of the back to allow the back to flex as the braces are clamped on. The top braces were also glued in this fashion.
The completed back is shown below.
Once the back bracing is complete, you start fitting the top and back to the sides in preparation for gluing. |
