Location: Upper Left USA | You'll find nothing but arguments. The Celebrty Elites, 2003 collector and the 1537 are all Quintad (think Adamas) in nature but there is a lot of subtle differences and major end results.
Fan or X seems to be the Luthiery debate and there are examples in both types that speak good or bad.
Plat it, like it, buy it. |

Location: SoCal | The A brace and the Quintad are very very similar. Quintad for multi holes and A for roundholes.
For roundhole guitars, I'm with brianslag all the way. A bracing does it for me.
In fact, I keep bouncing around the idea that once my checking account recovers from the OFC guitar, I'd like to special order a Legend. Deep bowl (possibly mid depth), cutaway, gloss neck with ANS neck bracing, old style fretboard inlays, AAA spruce top, A bracing, old overlaid rosette, and OP Pro or Studio (or whatever the hot ticket is at the time). What a great gigging guitar that would be! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Stupid to pre-judge a guitar by what kind of bracing pattern it has. Just by COINCIDENCE every VT braced ovation I have ever owned sounded like crap. Just another coincidence, but the X and A braced ovations have sounded very nice. You can't draw any conclusions from this at all. Nor the fact that my favorite wooden guitars are all X braced. Go figure. Dave |
