Thanks for your article. I have been talking with guitar builder Christopher Cozad about internal bracing options, including the old Larson Brothers Prairie State neck block to tail block rod assembly. I’ve also started a business selling my own Tension transfer device, Called theTurboTail. It allows for much lighter, soundboard bracing, and would be well complemented by a build, which supports the neck block the way Rick Turner and Christopher Cozad are doing. I hope you’ll have a look at our website. We are beginning to sell some of our parts to guitar builders so hopefully there will be a custom guitar using a TurboTail sometime soon. Best wishes,

PS we have recently paid for an ad in your magazine, so hopefully that will help us to gain some recognition amongst players and luthiers.
