I've been wondering something and I'm curious what everyone thinks. Do you think the prices of the current models (X-Bracing) will go down as Taylor rolls out the V-Bracing in the various series? So far the only comparisons are the K24ce, PS14ce, and 914ce, but I haven't seen any change yet. I'm also wondering how the price will compare between 2 of the same models with the different bracings once they have rolled it out to the other series.
I know of at least one dealer who's doing a blow-out sale on some of their old stock, ostensibly to make room for the "V-Class" guitars. Some of the guitars included in the sale are outgoing "X-braced" models like the 914 and K24. Loyal customers of this dealer received an e-mail instructing them to call for verbal price quotes, as all of Taylor's dealers are contractually prohibited from from advertising prices below the standard 'street' prices.
Regarding prices on similar models of "X-braced" vs. "V-Class" guitars: I personally wouldn't expect to see a huge difference.
