The problem with physics is that very quickly human language breaks down and you need to resort to a combination of precisely defined terminology and mathematical statements. Andy apparently tries to explain his perception of the physics inherent in his design, but in plain English. Those of us who work with math and engineering need to be a bit generous with our interpretation of Andys statements. He is not reinventing the law of acoustics. To me it sounds like the V bracing is claimed to reduce some aural ugliness that can happen due to the imperfections of guitar design. Whether this actually works, I can’t tell until I played one. It sure looks great visually though. About time someone changed up the good old x bracing - Greenfield and Lowden are already doing it to great effect, so why not Taylor.
