Hi, Vint. Yeah, that's a well done overview. Helpful he points out the long scale, wide neck, and lower number of frets...19 I think he said. Interesting, may be not so good for Rock or Blues Rock lead playing, nor for slide where you wanna get above the octave.

But a good range of tones I'd love to hear with some Gain. Set neck is always promising. And beautifully funky aesthetics.

Thanks!

The Swingmaster looks cool Doug so I got curious about how it sounds.

Here's what I found:
