Part of the secret is a hard rock maple/ebony neck and the fact that it's neck goes all the way to the back of the rear pickup.
The client wanted a small body but deep tone , so I mounted the pickups closer to the neck than on my old Jazz .
As you can see it's got both more neck and less body
The french polish made it super slick , If you want a FAST neck , try Zinzer 's shellac it's amazing
