Wanted to ask if anyone can enlighten me about alder bodies with an off set seam? I'm getting another masterbuilt done by Jason Smith and maybe this might be something I may like. Thanks for your help.

..that means that the (2-piece) body is glued together not in 2 symetrical halves of the same size, the 2 alder pieces have different sizes (more vintage correct IMHO). On a center-seam body the two halves are of the same size and the glue seam goes right through the middle of the body. Hope this helps.
