Grand Concert – Falcate <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Started on June 25, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guitar build and the next will be more experimental – I will be trying new bracing methods. This build will utilize the Falcate bracing method as it seems to be popular amongst some luthiers. This build would be a guitar of “normal” blueprint specs but I would have to alter the bracing in the future for a “modern” spec build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falcate bracing incorporates laminated carbon fibre bracing which I won’t be doing. I will use a hardwood in between the Spruce as I am doing already. I did ask my CNC guy (who has a 3D printer) if his machine can print carbon fibre. He explained to me that it isn’t actually carbon fibre that is printed but it is platic resin with bits of carbon fibre in it – which was what I had guessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be using a Red Cedar board that I had purchased off a local luthier – it is already glued together and has some work done on it: Looks like the rosette channel is oversized. This would be a good chance to use some cuts of wood from previous builds\/projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
