In this episode of DIY Guitar Making, I am installing the soundboard bracing on a new Parlor model guitar. I talk about roughing out brace blank dimensions for the X brace, the tone bars, the finger braces, the transverse bar, and the bridge plate. Then I show you how to cut a lap joint in the X brace and connect all the adjoining braces.
