How to Properly Split Bracing

Hand-splitting your own guitar bracing is a simple process yet can be hard to wrap your head around at first. This how-to video and demonstration will help you understand what to look for, what to do and why to do it.
I hope you enjoy!

good info glad to see ya back on your lucky to live in Canada the land of Sitka i have to travel 4 hours to get my Sitka

[@MoGiMaL]

Though, this is probably not sitka, maybe white spruce, which is probably better.

Those are some nice boards! Most of the lumber at my Home Depot looks pretty bad, but maybe if I dig through some of it I can find a decent one! I know what I'm doing after work tomorrow!

[@treehouseguitars]

Haha, yeah it can be hit or miss. Most times that I check there aren’t any nice boards like this one.

Great video thanks. Do you know what kind of Spruce that is?

[@treehouseguitars]

I couldn’t tell you with 100% certainty, but my best guess is that it is Eastern Seaboard Spruce. So either red spruce or white spruce. Whatever it is it makes beautiful brace stock! :)
