Anthem install with forward X bracing

[Chester Burnett Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Chester Burnett]

Hello fellow Baggers. I have owned several LR Baggs products over the years and I'm a big fan. My next guitar is going to be a Taylor M522 which has a forward shifted X bracing. Does anyone know if there would be any issues installing an Anthem system in this guitar? I have heard that the certain bracing can interfere with the placement of components.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Hey Chester,
I've never run into any major, or regular issues with forward shifted X-bracing. Shifting the X-brace forward, in most guitars, actually leaves more room for the bridgeplate.

If anything, rear-shifted bracing is more cause for concern when installing the Anthem.

You shouldn't have any issues installing the Anthem.
