Lattice Model
I am now building a new lattice braced instrument. This instrument features an arched brace-less back which facilitates greater volume and projection. A unique feature of the lattice design is the benefit of gradation of dynamics and tone color which gives the player a broader musical palette. The top is braced with a 9 x 9 strut lattice of carbon fiber and balsa wood which will not distort or weaken over time. Top thickness is 1.5mm which is thicker than the guitars of Greg Smallman which are 1.2mm in the middle to 0.7 at the edges. This style of guitar is less prone to damage from adverse humidity conditions. The neck can be built with an adjustable neck for quick on the fly action changes. This requires a 1/8" allen wrench.
