Well well well. Brad your a big fibber mate. You told me it could be thirty days plus. :wink:
It landed this morning. What a beauty. I dont know an awful lot about acoustic guitars. I've only ever had two, the one my sister was given and gave up on after ten minutes (I had to master a 12bar in E on it before I was allowed a electric). A ovation I was given that the neck joint had caved in on.

This things a real stunner. A nice full bass end and a toppy treble. Absolutely lovely. I'll be giving it a whirl through the P.A on saturday to try the electrics out.
The action and fret work is really good, really really good. I dont think my Hotrod was this good new. A very comfortable neck with suprise suprise, really good high end access. The neck seems to sit very comfortably in my hand. Kind of like a thicker tele neck but not excessively so. Sort of a big C strat neck.

I'm very very smitten. I cant find anything I dont like on this guitar, I'm a hard taskmaster. If I could fault it, I would. I just cant find a thing though. Right out the case, its great.

Thankyou so much. I really cant fully express my gratitude.

Nice case too, really sturdy. Off to give it a blast now.

Man, that is just so cool! 8) What a pretty fingerboard. Congrats Niki - respect, Fender!

It always tickles me when people post here saying they don't believe the competitions are real. There's a growing band of folks ready to say; "Excuse me...!"

Now: rock it, man. :D

Cheers - C

+1 on the block inlays, she's a beaut.

any word's begining with B are going to feel strange at first, It'll just be the huge grin you presently have :)
