For you guitar builders is tap tuning an essential part of a build? Or is it bs? Anyone have experience tap tuning plates? Do you have any quick advice on the subject?
I briefly experimented taping the braces of a back and top plate. Most of the taps on most of the braces would produce a ringing tone that sounded like the same pitch of the other braces on the same plate. I didn't use a tuner to try to actually tune the braces because they ring so well I was scared to alter them anyway. I just went ahead and glued the top, sides and back without tap tuning. This is my first build so I thought I'd ask for next time.
Thanks
