Interior bracing is one of the most important elements in any acoustic’s tone. In our endless pursuit of better tone, we designed V-Class bracing, a new sonic architecture that enhances a guitar’s ability to produce rich, resonant sound. The result is more volume and projection, longer sustain and a more in-tune, harmonious relationship between notes. #Guitars #TaylorGuitars
