Well I finally got my package from the UPS guy at 4:50. Too bad I was just getting ready for dinner as my girlfriend's father comes over every Thursday. So those of you who thought I was rocking out, not yet!! I had just enough time to get it intonated before dinner. My first impressions are very good. The intonation needed some adjustment and I think I'll want to change the strings. The bridge pickup was very slanted inside the pickup ring. It was slightly wedged and could not be lowered. I'm guessing this is why it was returned because I see no other issues. I raised it which straightened it right out and now I'll be able to adjust up and down as needed.

The frets, binding, and finish all look and feel great.I was only able to plug it in for about 5 minutes but it makes my amp sound KILLER. I can't believe how good these pickups sound compared to my EPI Les Paul. Here is a few pics I was able to snap and now I will sit down and play her for a while. Woops I forgot to put the switch tip on ... oh well.

Happy New Guitar Day to Me :D
