Another guitar “inspired” by an artist. This one is a “road worn” model with a specification of Justin Meldal-Johnsen “signature.” He has played Bass for numerous artists, in particular Nine Inch Nails. Personally, I like a short scale bass and this one in Daphne Blue with a split-coil pickup, 30” scale and 9.5”-radius fingerboard with …

This new Strat Plus looks and plays no different but features interchangeable “personality cards” which rewire the guitar without the hassle.
