1986 or 20X6?

Somehow retro, familiar, and futuristic at the same time, this is my take on an S-Type. Additional inspiration lifted from an obscure Fender model that showed up the same year I did. With hot-rodded electronics and balanced, ergonomic design, the Skyline is the first core D’Amelio Axe Works model. Many more of these guys to come.
