Good modernized hollowbody

I was never a phish fan but I love this guitar. I upgraded everything that wasn't wood and the frets were fine as is. It was great before though. Since I like longer scales the 25.5" on a hollowbody is refreshing. The 24 frets is neat and it has cool inlays. Super fun with all new locking tuners/nut/lipstick humbuckers/wiring including push/pulls. Neat and cool for a hollowbody since they are all pretty similar lol!
