What is V-Class Bracing? | Taylor Guitars

Andy Powers and Bob Taylor talk about the concept and creation of Taylor’s new guitar bracing.

V-Class bracing is the product of Taylor’s tradition of ingenuity, a new development that breaks away from the traditional X-bracing pattern to change the way the acoustic guitar sounds. At Taylor, we have always been driven to innovate and apply creative thinking to challenging problems. With a new design that resolves the tension between volume and sustain while improving intonation, we’ve moved the acoustic guitar forward and opened up new avenues for players.
