I just clicked the demo link... WOW! The shorty sounds waaaay better than the long scale! He gets great tone from the shorty Decade with flats.

A well-made short scale... not many to choose from, I hope the new model will be popular.

The video doesn't do the tone justice.  The live tone and feel are superb in execution for what Dan was aiming for.

Even so, from what little bit he played it, it sounds great.

It's one of those deals where Dan would probably like to hear a wave of interest so he could build a lot of 30 Skylines in addition to some USA-made orders.
