Features:
Tacoma's "VS" bracing is a radical advance over traditional acoustic guitar bracing. Tacoma hasn't "adjusted" a design from the 1930's; they have applied 60 years of learning. Tacoma 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.
Tacoma's "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. Tacoma has applied this thinking to their bridge, and it works!
