I don't know who half these YouTube celebs are these days but all I know is that this Strat looks cool, and this is one killer solo:

I think the basic idea is that the form factor of the top plate is sooooo small that it fits inside the body route for the trem block allowing you to do mental up & down bends without any additional routing.
The downside is that they're something daft like £300 plus for which money you could probs get a really nice trem AND a body with additional back routing to allow you to go mental ...

Sorry, my bad just checked out the kickstarter it's "only" €248 if you back it now rather than €291..
They do look a bit shy of their target though..

The harmonics at 30s and 33s I've never bothered how to learn but I want to try it. I think that Mikka guys uses them a lot, too. What's the technique?

Looks like he's pushing the bar down, picking a natural harmonic somewhere around the 2nd/3rd fret where all the really squeally ones live- G string I think, or maybe the B, then once it's up to pitch he's hammering on the fretted note on the top E string.
