Never content to rest on their laurels, Taylor Guitars has introduced their own bracing, known as “V-Class” bracing. For more than a century, guitar makers have used an X-brace pattern in acoustic guitar design and building. Andy Powers, Taylor’s master guitar designer, discovered a new way to brace their guitars, not only improving overall sonic performance, but also allowing them to start down a fresh new path of structural design. The new V-Class bracing design has seen its way into four acoustic guitars for 2018, with Taylor planning to continue to grow and expand the V-Class platform in the years to come.
