Science of Acoustics, Sound, Vibration: Considered in guitar designing (Chladni)

[Happyorange27]

Since I'm an engineer, someday I want to assist in designing my own guitar.  I want to optimize the acoustical properties.  Many things are to be considered.  Lately I have been looking into the geometry of the body and especially the supporting members and the sound holes.  If you want to see something super amazing, check out Chladni patterns and how they are formed and used to show how the guitar surface is vibrating and resonating at various frequencies.

Feel free to google this more and see how sweet it is.  I think it is beautiful and captivating.

Also, the hole sizes on the guitar (f holes as well) dictate the resonance frequency of the body (Helmholtz resonator).  I wonder how many guitar makers are actually incorporating this science into their designs??  AO (or anyone) do you have any input on this?

I feel that when I finally put all my blood, sweat and tears into my dream guitar, the science should not be overlooked.
