Well, the best way I describe it is that the balance is excellent, so it is like holding nothing at all. Every aspect of the guitar is designed to use the least amount of effort to accomplish a task. They are all generally lightweight, too, so they don't hurt after 4 hours. The headless guitars just make more sense to tune by the bridge, with a much higher tuning ratio- string changes take just a few seconds (double ball).
The other thing is, I love modern design that just works really well, as if every aspect of the guitar was thought out with no concessions to past instruments.

So, uh... think of a guy like me, who plays traditional designs 100% of the time (Strats, my Les Paul and my 339) and have never tried anything avantgarde, not even a Parker or a Steinberger.
How would you explain playing one of those to me? What kind of sounds come out of it?
I guess it's like describing green to a blind person, but you can try.
I'm so intrigued by those wacky, uber expensive designs, and chances are I'll never play one. I'd really appreciate your impressions on that.
