BRACING PATTERNS

 

 

1984 Taylor 710 Top.


Gibson 1970's Double X bracing.


1936 Gibson J-35.  Note that it only has 2 tone bars.
 Most of these braces are missing but you can see the old outlines.
 



 





1951 Gibson LG-2.  The top is new but the bracing is all original.
 These braces are wider than the L-00 or the J-35.  Bridge plate is a replacement.






1950's Gibson LG-1.  Ladder bracing with a large spruce bridge plate.


1950's Southern Jumbo Image





Burkett top bracing.  This one is braced very similar to the 1936 J-35 with a short brace added on each side.


1951 Gibson J-185 Image




1935 Gibson L-00.
