This guitar, in particular, was important, as in ~1985 Ken Parker x-braced the soundboard, as well as reshaped the back and neck.

I was introduced to this neck system by one of my tutors from Newark College - Jamie Swannell of Swannell guitars. With some guidance from him over the past few years, I have developed a cosmetically similar but technically different version of his system.
