The Ebony does add a noticeable amount of weight simply because it is heavier.
however Ebony is so stiff It allows me to mitigate that weight some with a thinner backplate. That lightens it up some and increases the base response.
Having heavier sides doesn't hurt anything, some would argue it's helpful for tone.

Being a closet maple fan and my first 97 Taylor jumbo had the extremely atypical quilted maple, this guitar just captivated me. Another compliment of wow!! I want one
Thanks DMZ!

I'm glad my design efforts are evident and appreciated. That quilted maple just begs for attention and I thought I'd just go with it and see what elements I could use to point at it. Even the choice of which model was a consideration.

Thanks Again,
Mark
