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.

Slim neck with low shoulders for
comfortable play
Lower mass allows the top to vibrate more freely, and increases the
guitars response.
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
