Re: Taylor "V Class"
Well they sure do make some amazing claims for the effects of this bracing system:
In a couple of youtube videos I have seen the guitars do sound nice. But there is a lot of luthiery scientology going on here.
- It apparently simultaneously increases both rigidity and flexibility.
- It also improves intonation - "creates a more orderly response from the soundboard, improving the intonation by putting all the notes more in-tune with each other" (ah - so that is what intonation means - I always wondered)
- "V-Class bracing makes the top more in tune with the vibrating strings. This eliminates much of the interference that causes some notes to waver and sound slightly out of tune. As a result, notes and chords played anywhere on the neck are more consistent and in tune with each other."
- "Up and down the fretboard, the notes are full, true and consistent, with more harmonic agreement."
