  I have TR standard from 2000 and have always been curious to know how Santa Cruz characterizes the X-bracing. I’ve not found any mention of brace location in the specs for this model so curious to know. I measured from the edge of the sound hole to the intersection of the X to be about 1-3/8″. Taking into account the larger sound hole I’m guessing it would be about 1-1/2″ if compared to a Martin D-28 with standard bracing (neither forward or rear). Does anyone know?
  
  Thanks

  Word from Will is that it was a Standard braced TR. Which stimulates the thought of a podcast on Bracing with Richard, great suggestion, let’s see what we can do!

  Thank you for researching my question. I was thinking the answer might be standard bracing based on the measurement I made but good to have confirmation. Follow on question, do most standard TRs use this brace location?
  
  I will check out the podcast if you decide to do one on bracing.

  That’s what I understood from Will, unless the order card showed some customers special request it would be the same as a standard TR
