The Tacoma Guitars
"VS" bracing is a radical advance over traditional acoustic guitar
bracing. We haven't "adjusted" a design from the 1930's, we've applied
sixty years of learning.
Tacoma Guitars
braces are triangular in shape because they have equal strength to a
rounded brace with less mass.
|
Lower mass allows the top to vibrate more
freely, and increases the guitars response
Slim neck with low shoulders for comfortable play.
Our "Tone Shaped" bridge is wide and flat on the bass side, and narrow and
peaked on the treble side. A Luthier's rule of thumb is that low, wide
braces are best for bass frequencies, and tall, thin braces are best for
treble frequencies. We've applied this thinking to our bridge and it
works.
Our solid Maple bridge plate is
asymmetrical, and placed diagonally to enhance the dispersion patterns of
our bridge design. Our matched bridge and bridge plate configuration
balances the bass and treble remarkably, and produces sustain unmatched by
any other system.
There are no sharp corners on the front
edge of the bridge to concentrate stress on the top. Less stress - Longer
life.
