Good morning guys,
My plans (Dred) show the two upper bout back braces thin and tall,
the two lower bout back braces are shown wide and short.
I would prefer using four thin tall braces,
Can someone suggest a thickness and height for these braces ??
Should upper and lower bout braces be the same thickness and height ??

Gregg

Hi Gregg,

I make all 4 the same size generally about 1/4" X 3/4" high. To start then plane and scallop from there.
