Yeah, they call that "character". Really pretty guitar. I would like to see the headstock, though.

Leaving aside all the arguments everyone will have regarding how much influence types of wood have on electric guitars :) I just offer my subjective opinion based on the Strats I have owned.

I was and remain a fan of the one piece maple neck on alder and ash bodies as far as Strats and Teles were concerned. For whatever reason I have never really gotten on with the Rosewood fingerboard. But with this combination of Pine body and one piece Rosewood neck I have fallen in love, it is as if the Pine body gives me the clear "spank" but the rosewood neck mellows it's tone.

This is simply my opinion and I am sure is influenced by what I think is happening :) But that is all I can give you is my opinion :) as they say Your Mileage May Vary :D

Best

Thanks for the headstock picture. You clearly have a very special guitar. I would also venture that this line of guitars will likely increase at a greater rate than other more-generic "limited runs". I am very happy for you ...
:D
