Interesting enough the trem has been configured flat against the body...so hard tail mode if you will...do they ship like this or has this been adjusted by he shop I bought it from I wonder...

So that is the second new guitar in as many weeks...yikes!

Thanks all...she is truly magnificent. I have only manage to get the tuning settling a bit now and played acoustically only. Cannot wait to hear what the pups sound like.

Shipped to the office? I do that so my wife doesn't know what I bought. But that's only because she works from home and will see anything left on the porch. The way people are today, there is no telling what UPS/FEDEX/USPS will do to the guitar on your porch or if someone in the neighborhood will steal it!

Thanks All :)

Man oh man she plays nice....She even sounds great without being plugged in.

I need to put her through a proper amp now. Got a Fender Excelsior (original spec but with upgraded JJ and Tung Sol tubes on order. Also going pick up a Mustang 1 v.2 this week I think)

What a great guitar for the money.

Cheers,
G
