Re: Has anybody done modal analysis on a braceless guitar?
You might find this Master's thesis interesting. The author creates a new composite material for acoustic guitars using carbon-fiber filament, polyethylene tape, aluminum strips, and polyurethane foam, which he claims matches the mechanical and tonal qualities of Sitka Spruce. He has a spectrum ana...

Has anybody done modal analysis on a braceless guitar?

I watched a video of Kenny Smith playing Norman Blake's D-18H a short while ago and though "WOW, I want to build THAT". And that got me thinki...
