Thanks Michael! Thanks Ian!

When building my first guitar and my main concern with the X bracing was how to keep it from sliding around when I was clamping it. I have improved slightly with each instrument.

I would hope that guitar builders are taking longevity as well as great tone into consideration.

I make the braces run through the sides and cover the ends with binding .
