New Complexity (part 2): the Contra


guitarz.blogspot.com

Yesterday we had a look at New Complexity's Harmonic Master, this is their Contra, a more regular model - with its strat-like 3 single-coils - but no less creative in its minimal classicism. 

I like the transparent pickguard showing the clever pickup routing, the string-through/tune-o-matic combination, the reduced controls, the minimal headstock and the sober yet imaginative outline. You have to admit that it is not easy to compete with the Stratocaster and reach such an interesting result!
