My guess is that tucking the braces is common practice because that is what Martin does. Much of what is done stems from looking at quality instruments and emulating techniques that were present in those instruments. Tucking the braces may also prevent the brace ends from popping loose. Not a bad thing in terms of instrument longevity. However, Gilet and Gore are presenting their ideas in an attempt to make the instrument more responsive, or at least give the builder more control over the sonic end result. After all, just because something is historically done a certain way, doesn’t mean that it is the “right” way, whatever that means. Options on a menu.

No, it’s one of their hpl guitars. I repaired a side that was smashed in, but I’d like to make the repair a little less obvious.
