Is the new 'V' or the old 'X' type bracing better?
Pro's & Cons? Thoughts and opinions?

Both classes of bracing sound excellent and I would think you could be pleased with a model in either bracing pattern. I recently bought a new Taylor 717e Grand Pacific Builder's Edition Wild Honey Burst. All my other Taylors are 2015 and 2016 model versions and have the newer X-Bracing. Let me state that of all the guitars in my signature if I had to make a choice to keep only one, it would be the V-Class-Braced Taylor 717e Grand Pacific. It has a full, articulate, resonant, and harmonically pleasing tone. All Pros and No Cons with this model.
