Just wondering, what is the purpose for the extra ebony brace strips across the back ?

As far as the Manzer wedge goes, well, it's a wonderful thing! I've played all sorts of guitars with the feature built in, including some of linda's own builds, and each one has been a joy to hold. Quote:
Just spoke to Jason, the top is joined and he's working on the rosette, it'll be a variation on his "stained glass" design With a little something extra. I've given Jason carte blanche as far as the design goes, I have no doubt it will be gorgeous...

Looks like a great start to a great guitar. I'm curious as to how Jason's guitars compare to the fine guitars that you've played in the past. I'm sure having played so many of the finest luthiers guitars you have a good reference point. Did you pick Jason because his guitars sound the best to your ear or is it a tradeoff with affordability? Also, I'm curious as to what Jason's base prices are. Thanks! Congrats on your new build!

Do you know when Jason's website will be back up? I'd love to see some of his work.

Well, he's got his webmaster working on it at the moment, it's going to be gorgeous but it'll be a little while. I was going to delay the build thread until it was ready but just couldn't resist!

thus needing extra stability or was it just the wood choice in general he felt the need? I'm just trying to learn about building and methods applied and this has me curious since it isn't so common.

Each of Jason's rosettes is unique and very beautiful. I can't wait to see what he has planned for my own guitar.
