Start a c standard, nothing to report, 21 boxes, 3 pickups, 5-way switch
one prank: the handle. radius 12 ", rather unusual in modern strat uen, masi extremely comfortable.
mine has a fairly thick neck, in profile C, which suggests a masi a SRV signature. so there is more mass of wood on the handle, which makes it sound quite specific, heavier, very punchy in the bass.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super playable
width at nut is slightly larger than a std c and much better for some chords and phrasing, it was the place.
sharp, well c as a strat std ... Jimi was wondering ... lol
ergonomics, this model proved
the sound is very easy to adjust, no need to hack, c instinctive and a simple machine, the sound is in the design, not hidden in the knobs ...

SOUNDS
