Hi folks,
I joined as i found some links when googled of others here with lots of information on top bracings.
I have a customers guitar that has come in for repair as the soundhole is buckling under tension, it also had a cracked fretboard and warped neck and needed a neck angle reset.
All work is completed except for the structural top issue.
I have traced out the front section of the internal bracing and was hoping someone can check their 12 string and let me know what should be there from the manufacturer. |

Location: moline,illinois | Mirwa I think that might be an A brace pattern,if you list the model and year of the guitar I'll see if I have something similar,here's a link to a page of Ovation bracing patterns http://ovationtribute.com/Ovation%20Bracing/Ovation%20Bracing.html

Location: Australia | Thankyou for the reply and link, very similiar to the A brace but no hitch half way down per illustration, the bottom left of the link 14fret 12 string looks identical, except it does not accomodate for the cutaway and the traced outside main braces taper in.
I might simply putting an angled tongue brace in as per all the other photos in the link
