The acoustics are designed with help from my friend Mark at Mark Swanson Guitars.  He is a world-class builder and he helped me with all of my acoustics.  They use X brace patterns scaled for each top size.  They are designed for spruce tops and may need to be altered if you want another top wood.

    The J-200 has the shape of the classic Gibson, but the bracing pattern is redesigned to make it sound a little better, a little more balanced.  The neck joint is a Cumpiano bolt-on.

    The J-45 Round Shoulder Dreadnought was designed using measurements from an actual guitar and uses a dovetail neck joint.  The bracing was copied from images taken from inside that guitar.

    The generic Dreadnought is just that, and is similar to a Martin.  It uses a Cumpiano bolt-on neck joint.
