Whenever someone orders a guitar from us, I always discuss what they're hoping to achieve musically with the instrument.  From that, I try to recommend the most suitable configuration of woods, pickups and controls.  This time, it was my turn.  I set aside all of my preconceived notions and considered all of the qualities I was looking for in my ideal guitar: light weight, comfort, balance, warmth, clarity, a tight low end and sparkling highs.   The result was an entirely new Swan: the NYA, truly Not Yet Another.
