Alembic at one time came up with the best "players" set up. This has to be the most ideal model I've seen yet!
1. lower bottom horn cut back: the fingers can reach the 24th fret, allowing one to play all of the notes without struggle.
2. the truss rod plate was taken off (although i noticed there is a plate for it): players can place finger under strings to pop.
3. Pick up selector is down by the other controls: full clearance for slap and chord strumming.
