Looks like you need to learn to play slap first.

That guitar sounds boxy.

I don't actually know what "sounds boxy" means, but people on the Internet all say it's something guitars that size do.

Yea that percussive slap and smooth strum is what makes this special. Don't know his music, but my guess is he's got some flamenco background to pull that off.

The Crossroads model is available with vintage style humbuckers, too - but I don't have a P90 guitar yet.

Crossroads models have different pickups, wiring and hardware compared with the Made in Israel ones. Upgrade parts are available for those who feel the low(er) cost model is almost there but not quite...
