The 2016 revamp of the 500 series saw Taylor add the X-brace dubbed Performance bracing with voicing refinements that would preserve all the great character of mahogany’s tone profile — an earthy midrange, a clear, focused response, and a natural compression that helps level out a player’s attack — while giving players a wider range of expression. One of the benefits of the new bracing scheme was the ability to adapt it to enable the creation of some breakthrough guitar models. One example is the Grand Concert cedar-top 552ce 12-Fret. Although 12-strings aren’t traditionally associated with a smaller-size guitar body, the bracing design played a major role in articulating a clear 12-string voice for a more compact and comfortable playing experience.
