That is one hot guitar! Congrats, and HNGD! They have some nice looking guitars, those Highland folks. I like their solid body double cuts. I'll have to look for one to try out.
This little beauty came in as a trade-in at my local music store. After a week or so of drooling over it, I gathered up a cheaper Washburn WI-24 I had recently acquired and a couple other unused items and did some horse-trading. Straight up trade!
The build quality of this thing is fantastic and it sounds GREAT through a tube amp!!! Rich and ballsy, but a bit of jangle... maybe reminiscent of a Rickenbacker? P'ups clean up nicely when the volume is rolled back almost no change in volume.
I'll try to get some pics up, but in the meantime here's a link to the website. If you see Highland guitars in your area, they are worth checking out.

Hey Kat, I'm rockin' a Traynor YCV80 these days This guitar is actually surprising me. I must admit I was initially drawn to it's killer looks, but the more I play it, the more I'm falling in love with the feel and the TONE! I kind of expected it to be more "show" and less "go", but this is one kick *** axe!!
