Mine came and as usual lately it did not take long to go through. I always read the Ask Bob section and Kurt's Corner every issue, plus the letters. Then scan all the pretty pictures of things I have no intention to buy. As a recovering photographer, I can always appreciate the splendid photos.
The hyperbole over V-bracing has toned down a bit, and they seem to be describing it now in more realistic and practical terms. I have no issue with a new, better bracing system - Taylor has always broken the design mold and thought outside the box, and that is much appreciated. But c'mon - V-bracing cannot cure cancer and is not the best thing since sliced bread. I'm glad they moderated the advertising copy.
