Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I'm a fan of the A Brace. To my ear the acoustic sound is warmer with more range.
The fan bracing(s) were used on various 12 string models, I believe... |

Location: SoCal | A bracing was developed, based upon the Quintad bracing which is used on multi hole Ovations. The Quintad bracing was first used on Adamii and then Elites.

Location: Reno, NV | Is the "X" bracing listed in the picture the same as used on the new LX's? Because mine (1771LX)doesn't seem to have the bracing surrounding the sound hole like pictured. |

Location: Copenhagen Denmark | It would have much to do with the materials used,plus a lot of experimentation,reminds me of the transistor,for a long time we ( el.engineers) knew it had to work,but it did n`t,until mr.Bardeen and another fellow (his name escaped me )by chance discovered that a little contamination made it work,go figure... ;)
