Anyone know what Taylor use? Or perhaps someone has experience building with V bracing? Looking at a youtube video, the reflection of a sunny window made it look like the top was pretty darn flat. Worked on a 912ce builder's edition recently and it just blew me away. |

Looks like experimentation time. All of my instruments are a 40’ radius top. Try one flat and try one at 40’. Personally I live for experimenting. Following… M |

Thanks, I've found estimates between 40' and 65' Taylor say "Different models of guitars have different geometry according to the needs of that model." I have a 40' and flat should be no problem, Sagitta for 40/65 radius are ~1.5/1.0 mm for 15" lower bout, so I feel an experiment or two coming on. The 912 I worked on lives in the area, so the owner (He's been extremely pleased with my work on several expensive guitars he owns) may be up for a visitation. |
