Strato Thinline
One-piece ash, hollowed out into resonant chambers and closed with a quilted maple top. Lighter than a solid Strato and more open-sounding, without turning into a semi-hollow.

What sets it apart
Chambers carved out, not a soundbox
The body stays a single piece of ash: the chambers are carved inside and the top closes them again. It is not a semi-hollow — there is no feedback to manage at volume — but far more wood is moving, and you hear it on held notes.
Baltic curly maple, neck and fretboard
One piece, with no separate fretboard: the grain runs unbroken from the headstock to the last fret. It is the same choice as the Wormhole, and it does the same thing — a neck that barely moves and a drier response.
Push-pull on the volume
A pot you pull to change the wiring: from double coil to single, without adding switches to the pickguard. Two different guitars under the same fingers, and nothing shows from the outside.

The chambered body
Twelve seconds, and you can hear it is chambered.
A chamber carved under the top changes the way the body gives the note back: less compression, longer tail. It is the difference a table cannot write down and a hand on the fretboard makes audible in two bars.

With the tone control up
Pull the tone pot and the humbucker stays on one coil in every position: the bridge brightens and moves close to a single-coil, without touching anything else.
