Bracing Patterns

In addition to the guitar's tonewoods, body shape, and scale length, the bracing pattern also plays a role in the sound. Guitar braces are strips of wood glued to the underside of the top. Braces provide strength to the top, which is a single piece of wood that has been shaved very thin to vibrate freely and offer good resonance. Without bracing, the tension of the strings would cause it to bend and eventually break. The shape and placement of the braces also influence how the top vibrates, affecting the instrument’s responsiveness, balance, and projection. There are many bracing styles, and Kremona uses a different one for each guitar series.
