Long story short; I bought an E6D, sold it, missed it, then when it became available again, bought it back.
The guitar arrived set up for and strung with mediums. Being a lights man, I re-strung it with EJ16s. Which really didn't get the top moving. I assumed I'd just get it set up for light strings, but after a couple of days realized that wouldn't do. If ever a guitar was built for medium - heavy even - strings, it was this one. It's a tank. A cannon.
While putting mediums BACK on, I remembered that the buyer-turned-seller told me he'd discovered it had an extra brace. On the top, underneath the fretboard extension (or whatever you call that area of the fretboard between the 14th and the soundhole).
Has anyone else encountered something like this? It seems like something you'd find on a 12-string guitar. I've never owned one, so can't speak to their braces.
