Hi everyone
Just got this by Fed Ex yesterday (quick gripe about Fed Ex I was home when this was delivered and the delivery person left this at the door and walked away no knock or anything I wasn't happy) these are my first impressions of this fine instrument.
She's a real beauty and the woods are choice specimens of ebony, spruce,maple and ovangkol. First impressions it's a loud guitar when using a flatpick has a sweet deep bass and excellent note separation but OMG the neck is heavy the overall weight of the guitar is at least 8-9 pounds (I got an electronic scale coming so will post exact weight soon) I don't care for the strings it arrived with and ordered several of my favorite brands to find the right fit for me. Intonation was spot on from the factory but the tuning was sharp (weather?) I have not recorded it yet and believe me the honeymoon is far from over.
