I always thought the back bracing had the x brace extending from top to bottom of the back but the x brace on your back is only in the centre portion with ladder bracing. Is that also another recent change?
It's funny you should ask...I took a picture of the inside of my 2017 GC when I was doing a string change a couple of weeks ago and it has the same top bracing. We did use the GC as a reference build, so I can't say if this is how Michael voices for all his current builds. I'll try to peek inside the 00 tomorrow.
