I also posted on the other post. I don't believe there can be an apples to apples answer to this. I don't know of any quality build ladder braced guitar that isn't built to be marketed to "the blues sound". Hence almost everyone thinks the ladder braced sound always sounds like a blues guitars. I don't know of a ladder brace dread or jumbo built to go head to head with the big three guitar makers. Meaning built for a bigger sound with more depth. Obviously there is allot of variation in the different sounds of all the different X braced guitars. It stands to reason there would be the same variation if there were allot of different makers of ladder braced and V braced guitars. Face it the buying public is conditioned to buying X braced guitars. Taylor framed their marketing of the V brace as being modern and anti boomer X braced guitars. Like they invented the wheel or something. It's not your dad's guitar type of thing.
