Not impressed. Not at all. And his high E is a little sharp high on the neck (3:45). "It's a hard one for a lot of guitar players to understand."(4:12) That's the only meaningful remark in this interview. I'm losing my sympathy for Taylor BIG TIME. Bob, what did you do... :-(

Everything I've heard so far sounds like good old fashioned over the top marketing to me.

True. But the effect is minimal. The tap tone of a guitar has a MUCH lower volume than any string being played. Moreover, it is only the case for the fundamental resonance frequency of the top, which is just one single note, and maybe one or two more. Not for every note on the guitar, and certainly not for those high up the neck.

Also, you seem upset. Perhaps you should take a step back and realize that you shouldn't get emotionally defensive over a guitar manufacturer.

Picker2. Why are you hatin on Taylor so bad? It’s like you can’t post enough bad. Don’t buy one. Go with what you like. Different strokes you know.... no need to hate unless you could build one better. I certainly can’t. It’s all good.

Be careful guys! Some of you might end up in their next creation stroking the necks, polishing the pegs, and sniffing the soundholes.

It's no problem with the Martin clan puts down Taylor any way they can, but no one says anything about Martin's $100K guitars. I'm sure there's some magical glue, bracing or specially age wood that would make these Martin guitars that expensive.

You may have missed the point or misread the thread. The OP is a Taylor player and fan. He is not a fan of their marketing, which he find disingenuous. I am also a Taylor guitar fan and find their new marketing distasteful. Martin has produced some equally insane marketing claims on occasion.

I know physics as well as have studied the physics of the guitar a little, but not a lot. Clearly, the strings produce there own notes which are governed solely by fret placement and compensation. Of course, being not perfectly rigid and also adding extra tension when pressing the strings to the fretboard compromises perfect intonation which is always a problem.
Now, I'm not an expert on this by any means, but the strings are also obviously coupled to the guitar. The guitar has its own normal modes which reinforce and dampen various string harmonics... they might even distort them. This is, of course, due to the shape of the guitar and how it is braced (and coupled to the strings). So, he could, scientifically, be claiming that with a different bracing pattern the harmonic series produced by the strings could be less distorted or shifted when coupled to the guitar than other bracing patterns. I don't know if that's true, but you can argue this could be true. I don't think it's overly egregious.
