Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | Anyone know if the recently discontinued 6773 models (nylon strings) are any good? The reason I'm asking is that they incorporate VT8 Bracing and I'm not sure I've heard this configuration is any good. I hear good things about the A Bracing, LX Bracing and the Adamas Fan Bracing but don't recall anyone saynig the VT8 Bracing was in the "good" category.
Thanks. |

| It's the famous "Indian Blanket" (™ cliff) Rosette.
I love it. |

Sadly I found it to be the nicest part of the guitar. |
