a multi-functional improvement on the original offset design. A modern offset shape that feels more comfortable and allows for a more natural position when played sitting down.  The lower bout has been moved forward and the amount of offset has decreased for better balance.   Sculpted neck contour creates easy access to the upper frets on the fretboard. 1 degree neck to body angle to produce more string downward pressure to create more stability.  Strings don't pop out of the bridge when strummed hard like original fender design.  Stainless steel neck inserts produces a stronger neck to body joint that will not degrade over time. Necks are easier to remove, e-attach and re-align. 25" Scale Neck: The perfect sweet spot between the Gibson and Fender scale lengths.  52 mm Bridge String Spacing : A slightly smaller bridge string spacing to prevent the strings from falling of ends of the frets like original fender design. Yes. It is a better offset design.
