dave;
it has 5 fans with a bridge pad & 2 cutoff bars. the angle of these can change the tone allot.
The more angled they are the warmer the tone.-Have you ever seen the Barbaro flamenco
bracing.
it's very much like that.
R.E Brune has a plan of that bracing in the guild of luthiers plans for sale( I think)
I'll look for pics.

Try it for a classical-pay attention to brace height & width. Also top thickness.
I graduate the top thickness from .100 under the bridge to .80 at the edges.
