bairfoot cajun said… - howdy eric i dont have a pic of the inside of the arturo acoustic but i do have a pic of the inside of another that i did almost the same way that is not an acoustic and dont have the center soundhole. this pic i talk of is on a build called the uneeda/downunder and its on page 5 of my pics.its basicly a brace that goes from side to side of the box where the end of the neck is resting in a notch that is cut into that brace that goes from side to side. hope this idea helps you to get the results you are looking for.if you have any specific questions you would like to ask i would be glad to help out.
