I wonder if it's the huge neck that makes it beefy. The ebony, maple top, ash body, single coils, pretty much everything about this guitar lends itself to an extremely bright sound in modern conventions.
HEY PHILL X, I REALLY LOVE YOU PLAYING, CAN YOU EXPLAIN YOUR GUITAR SOLO FROM YOUR SONG "I Wish My Beer Was As Cold As Your Heart" YOU ARE A GENIOUS, I NEVER SEEN ANOTHER GUITAR PLAYER PLAY LIKE YOU, REALLY.
Fender should really consider reissuing John English strats/teles. Now, who is the son of a bitch that bought this? Lucky bastard. I'd sell my house to buy this from them!

Wow you can really hear how the maple and ebony really don't have a lot of give to them. Very immediate attack sound (if that makes sense)

@blockstar2013 It's more the maple body that creates the sustain. Maple is hard and heavy as fuck.
