Well, considering we're talking about two fundamentally different instruments, played differently and built differently, I'm at a loss to understand the comparison, frankly. Yes, they both have strings, but that's where the similarities end.
As for the 'improved' intonation aspect being touted, I fail to see how a bracing pattern is going to affect scale length, nut and saddle accuracy and string gauge-all of which are critical to achieving, as near as possible given the compromise of tempered tuning, good intonation. I want to know how this miracle of Taylor's works.
