Compartment of X brazing

[CAI Kabrell]

Welcome to a new year 2026

I pulled out two smallish guitar plans.

Martin parlor

Gibson L00

And my first attempt of the new guitar.  

 

Compare the X braze angle and how the bridge sits on the X.

I am still working on my drawing.   

The snail has moved to the right

My X braze is closer to the bridge

My X is 87 degrees 

My tone bar brace is connected to the bridge and also the side finger braze.

Will probably make it a pass under braze and not tucked under the X.

Note I have little active soundboard area above the X.  But much more than normal X brazed. 

Note  I expect the “center nodal point” will not be located under the bridge. Since the brazing is asymmetric.

Note.  I am playing with the idea to decorate the top untraditionally.

Don’t get stuck gluing.
