    so great to have curt joining in!...check his gallery for some of his (well documented) & incredible work

    https://www.oldschoolguitar.net/gallery-2/

    his refinishing is as good as his repair work... he has an extensive background in paints and finishes

    he's a busted guitar miracle worker!

    cheers

    I got intrigued and made this drawing for myself to understand how the forces in kerfed braces work:


    As long as they don’t become unglued and as long as the strength of the lateral connections between and on top of the kerfes is not compromised (by runouts in the wood for example) they should in theory be just as strong as solid braces I think.

    So, did you came to a conclusion about your ES? Do you still own it?
