Bracing is needed
JoeInLex, You bring up a good point and I am by no means an expert, but I think bracing is needed if the top is the proper thickness to vibrate. I too am curious about their use of spruce braces on their X series guitar. My guess the spruce is cheap, available, and works well without having to "completely" re-invent the wheel.
