    I had a little concern about that myself as I researched the Nightswan and read that the body shape was designed to be "12% smaller than a standard Strat shape". I am a stocky build at 5'9" 225lbs with a 48" chest and 36" waist but it's actually quite comfortable and I don't notice or think anything such as its a small guitar or it not feeling substantial when I play it.

      Whoever routed the neck single did an amazing job. Looks factory and it balances out the look of the guitar.
      Thank you. I'm kind of "old school/classic" when it comes to cars...well...that and I'm old anyway having grown up as a kid in the late 60s/early 70s with American Muscle Cars being plentiful and relatively cheap. I wish they were now.

      As to the neck pickup routing; prior owner from whom I purchased told said that Doc Pittillo @ The Guitar Doctor in Fountain Valley, CA did the neck pickup route and Jumbo 6100 refret. I would agree he did well as it was a nice clean factory looking route with shielding.
