How is the balance?
I like the idea, but the hardware on the headstock and basswood body have me concerned that it'll balance like an SG.

I guess if it was a SG it would balance like a SG. It is a strat and balances like one to me.

What I was referring to is the SG's head-heavy characteristics, I've heard that Teles tend to neck-dive as well.
With the lightweight basswood body, the Strat-XII hangs straight from your shoulders without dropping the neck?

No, I have not found this to be a issue for me, hangs like my strats.
