There was even an older bracing system(s)?...I didn't knew about that! Can you tell us more?
Glad to help! Yes, they had an older bracing system in which their truss style braces ran completely parallel with the grain. It worked surprisingly well, but now they're using an X braces in combination with the truss style braces, which I personally like better and they used on my guitar.

Here's a photo of the bracing on my guitar...

Do you think your Batson's tone is too bright compared to traditional flat-tops?
I think you meant this question for me rather than David. Personally, I don't find it too bright, but that's me. They are very different sounding than a McPherson. What the audience hears vs the player with a McPherson are much closer than the difference of a Batson. Perhaps that's the difference of the sound hole being completely on the side rather than on the on the side of the top? Also, i've found Batsons have more fundamental in the tone than a McPherson.

Hope this helps...

Kindly,
Danny
