If it was all about "advancing", why did they hide fact this until guitarists folks started x-raying them and asking questions?
I just wish you had an option between the solid body and chambered in the USA Standard line, especially since it is the iconic "solid body" guitar.

Dude, actually the body blank of the standards has more wood than the cloud 9.
Some discussion about the chambering and pictures of the chambering pattern:
