My build is based on a Gibson AJ. I've used the dimensions for the length, lower & upper bout, and waist that I found on the net. The thing is I haven't found the bracing locations for the back. Is there a "standard" ratio used for the location of the braces on the back? If not, how are the brace locations typically calculated?    nathan c39056.8133101852

    I can't say there is a standard but I use martin's layout
   from the neck joint point
3 3/4
7
10 3/4
14 1/2
   I tried differecnt location , but what I found is the shape is more important than location.
good luck
