Re: Classical Guitar Construction
Thanks for that very useful tip. My Contreras, that I have played for thirty years is delightful so I may copy the bracing from that. At least I know it sounds beautiful. What do you think? There's a plan for my take on a Fleta in "the book" (http://www.goreguitars.com.au/main/page_the_book_overvie...

Re: Classical Guitar Construction
Zendo,
Be very careful if you use the Fleta plan in the Courtnall book. If you use his brace dimensions you will end up with a soundboard that is wayyyyy too stiff.

Re: Lightweight router recommendations?
Nick, The Bosch P50 is a great lightweight router. I've had mine for over 30 years and it still works fine. A near equivalent is available from Ozito. I have 3 of these.

Re: Guitar Design Software
If the Mac version of the Jon Sevy software isn't working for you, email Jon direct. He's very help and put the software up there for people to use. If it's not working, he'll likely help you out. He was kind enough to help me out when I had some issues with the Windows version.
