The guitar is a pretty big rethinking of trad Strat type things. the change of scale combined with the balancing of that with the wood choices and the focus of the added myrtle cap, the thicker fingerboard, and the mid focus of the bridge pickup coupled in the new wiring all work together to give something unique and defined without ditching the familiar tonal choices. the real trick is doing in a way that still sounds "old".
