What's the difference between V-class bracing and Performance bracing? Both appear as options on Taylor's custom build worksheet.

V class is something andy powers introduced a few years back - where the braces on the underside of the top form a shape similar to a V. historically, steel string guitars used a bracing style where the long braces form a X shape.

here’s a good article on the different bracing styles offered from taylor:
