Thanks John!
So, from the inside edge of the guitar side? NOT from the front of the neck block>?

   This is from the "Front" of the guitar. If you are off the thickness of the side set that isn't going to make any difference.
The spec of the bracing is
ols style
# 1 & 2 .250 by .625
# 3 $ 5 .750 by .250 ( rounded like a broom handle )

New style
1 & 2 same
3 $ 4 .380 by .750

both at a 20 foot radius
   There ya go

John thank you very much! I really appreciate the info.

Lance good luck with your "O". What will you be using for the back/top of yours?

I've got some really nice quilted maple and a Sitka top for mine and will probably use birdseye or curly maple for the neck.
