<p>I'm sorry you are mistaken it is only a 3 string but to answer your question. I put an x brace on the back and ran two small lateral braces in between the F holes. I braced the resonator by cutting two rings of 1/8 in. mahogany and glued them to the underside of the top. As far as box bracing all I did was a typical kirfing like you would on a guitar.

<p>Inside the box bracing, since your fastening the neck to the front face of the box(I didn't see any cut or dovetail) I was curious since it was a 6 string if the string tension was twisting at the face of the box causing any neck relief(forward bow) caused at all?</p>

<p>Very nice, for a new builder you look like you've been doing this for a while, checked out your other builds, very nice as well. I liked you use of the auger bolt for the neck mount, do you have any additional pics of inside bracing you used for that build?</p>
