Modern concert guitars often, but by no means always, follow the Smallman design which replaces the spruce fan braces with a much lighter carbon fibre/balsa composite structure. The braces form a lattice pattern which allows the (now much thinner) sound board to support more vibrational modes. This leads to greater volume and longer sustain.
Greg Smallman, Matthias Dammann
