What bracing might Ovation employ on a center-hole Baritone? Thanks..

I don't think I have ever seen a center soundhole long neck...
Elite's and A's have the "A"-brace...

My guess would be, if you ordered a LX it would be "X"-braced....

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate the help. I guess the A-brace can be adapted around the bridge relocation. Ovation is probably one of the few to make a multi-hole Baritone.

I believe Steve is asking about an Adamas top. Do they do X bracing on those? I dunno. I would suspect some modified A brace pattern.

It'd more than interesting to study the physics involved in bracing the different tops in relation to the acoustics and signal transfer, etc. I remember they used to apply some sort of acoustic numerical value to the early Adamas models. I wonder if they are still set up to do that, or would it even matter?..
