Bracing
Inside every Taylor guitar is a unique voicing system that helps shape its sound.
Taylor Bracing
How It Works
Bracing is the guitar's internal voicing framework. It helps control how the guitar vibrates — working with the woods to shape the volume, sustain, responsiveness and other properties. It's a key contributor to a guitar's musical personality.
The Taylor Approach
Our proprietary bracing designs allow us to fine-tune different sound profiles across the line — often tailored to specific models and collections.
