Hi Folks, I was wondering if anybody had any pictures or measurements of a ladder-braced top ala the old Oscar Schmidt Stellas? Thx! Glenn |

I have a couple of images here that might be of limited help Glenn, I am currently out of town and only have access to the stuff I have stashed on my web server. Here is a picture that shows the braces of an old top although it's not a real good shot. The other is of my top pattern that was taken from this guitar. It is a concert model and the lower bout should be 13 1/2" so you may be able to take the pattern picture and scale it to your needs. I won't be home for about a month so I can't be of much help in the near term. ![]() |

Hey Glenn, here's a couple of pictures of ladder bracing that Todd Cambio of Fraulini guitars sent me a while back. ![]() This is an old Oscar Schmidt Stella from NY. ![]() And this one is about the same age but it's from the Chicago area builders. No dimensions but maybe this will steer you in the right direction. Joe |
