wow, score one for the local power provider, just got a lengthy post erased by power interruption. anyway,
I built one for Sean (Musikerochan). Mahogany body, soft maple neck, ebony fingerboard, typical medium frets, stop tailpiece and TOM. Sound? Not bad. For some reason, it had a jangly, easy to play feel. Suppose the shorter scale had something to do with that.
Pretty stable. Had to shim the neck to get a neck angle.
Hey Sean how about a comprehensive report?

as for the stang, unti-unti na sya nababakatan ng braso-pawis ko kaya it's all good
pawis and libag, to be precise. love the neck profile: swabe ang octave riffs. inaalagaan ko na lang sa fast-fret kasi hindi ko na nilalagay sa hardcase, andun sa mesa station ko lagi.
isa lang lagi criteria ko sa gitara: playability. it being equipped with a TOM bridge, tuning issues during play are very minimal, if there were any. i wanted to break the notion that the parts make a gear, hence the deliberate use of low-end hardware (TOM bridge, tuners), and daym it did (read: yun lang ang kaya ng budget ko
). tone is a subjective area, but if i were to characterize it, that'd be growly. i remember when we tested some pedals thru a friend's amp who had an Ibanez S-series equipped with DiMarz neck and bridge humbies, and strat-style middle rail. the comparison left a big fat smile on me. very resonant: damang-dama yung kahoy. strung with 10-52s i think, kaya siguro dagdag na reason kaya mataba ang tone.
the real magic happens kapag naka-sukbit na: very comfy. short scale, kaya tama sa profile ko. nagmumuka ba naman akong unano pag strat
