Cut and paste below from some jap web pages. Pardon the bad English



I change the neck corner from normal 4.5 degrees to 3.8 degrees.
The angle of the bridge falls, and SusTeen improves by having changed an angle.
I produce long SusTeen.

I make a gap to the front pickup and neck by changing some positions of the pickup to the bridge side, and rear pickup and the interval of the bridge become small, and it is in specifications of near Les Paul to a vintage more.

I adopt the Malagasy rosewood which is near to ハカランダ in a fingerboard.
While the pickup is a low power, separation is very fair from a low tone to a high-pitched tone in a good balance.

I use Maple materials for a board with a thing of a head, and the nut becomes a discerning model in Delrin of the material same as a vintage, too.
