I have owned the models from the 80s and I have owned the Spirits.......played once decided to sell ! (a pathetic Example) Decided to try a synapse found a mint black one $475 bucks and I will tell you this it may be made of Hard Rock Maple combined with graphite but honestly it is the most comfortable great sounding and stable Guitar I have ever played....Perhaps he seems to be justifying using wood and Graphite I think these guitars are classic Guitars wow you never get to tune......i thnk he is celebrating a true design marvel the marriage of a hard wood stabilized by graphite taking the negatives of the old 80s graphite models and making comfort improvements the strap bar and the carved out back these guitars are everybit as good as the 80s brothers in my opinion as far as comfort , 5 hours at a time far superior just ordered a transparent Blue....my take
It was kind of interesting (and sad) to see Ned trying to justify all the cost-saving and market-expanding compromises he had to make on this guitar, basically contradicting the entire design philosophy he always espoused. I do like the fixed bridge, though.
