Feathered braces v tucked braces

Post by Bruce McC » Tue Jul 08, 2025 2:38 pm

On the J 45 drawing #1 only the top end of the X braces are housed into the linings.
The bottom ends of the X braces are feathered and not set into the linings.
Is this normal on all X braced guitars? Does this make for a more responsive top?
