You don’t want the classic solid body to f-f-f-fade away, but would like some improvement. How about a 100% maple body, but weight-relieved for comfort? Maybe a reverse wound mid pickup, and a humbucker that can be coil split. And for looks – throw in a book matched curly maple body (front and back) and a curly maple neck. Can you dig what we all s-s-s-say? Even if you don’t get around, you’ll be causing a big s-s-s-sensation with the Next Generation.
