You guys are spooking me! I was looking at the Ovation bracing patterns, and thinking they had really done a lot of experimenting with different ones, more than Martin. I didn't know that the LX series featured scalloped bracing. |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | Nothing surprises me anymore about Adrians quest for tone. Just this month he had an review in a UK guitar mag about a AUS guitar that had a wood top so thin you could push your finger through it.
The man is a legend. |

"As soon as Adrian got it several months later the first thing he did was take a pocket knife to all the braces and carve the living shit out of everything, a little bit at a time, just to be scientific about it. He told me at one point he got it too weak, I think he was in Des Moins and he took his pocket knife to the picture frame in the hotel room and got some wood and super glued it into place to build the brace back up." - Beal |

Scalloped Bracing?
