Stratocaster mod.

Is it a heavy modification...

or a whole new creation?

Appropriation

or Inovation
The idea here is to preserve the relationships between important controls in the same ways that have already been established by successful production guitars while expanding the capabilities into all-in-one electric guitar. There is a period of effort that one has to proceed through when they pick up a different instrument to get accustomed to it intimately so that one can play naturally and with feeling. Many players will only play one kind of guitar because they are so in tune with it that other guitar designs are "too hard" to play. Things are in the "wrong" place.
