This aged cherry on ash, and the sienna sunburst on ash, are two awesome finishes. I noted your comment on the compound radius. It's my understanding that the compound radius neck is new to the 2010 model as are the N3 pickups. If your guitar is an '09 than you have SCN's and 9.5R to the 22nd fret on that guitar. If you lucked out on a '10 with a now DC'd finish, for some reason. quite a coup. Either way, you seem quite pleased and I share your enthusiam.

Nope, aged cherry isn't DC'd, and definitely 2010...

Wow! Nice guitar man, good choice.

Understood. My question was to yours being an '09 or '10. As an '09 the guitar would not have a compound radius neck.

Thanks Dutchy. And yes zzdoc, it's a '10.

Seems as though you've lucked out if they've truly D/C'd ash as a wood option. You'll have yourself a rare guitar.
