Yep, the neck's the bomb. Could be the nicest feel & player of all my guitars. And yeah, she wieghs a ton. The sustain block makes a huge difference, comparing the weight to my Casino (hollow). That Saien sounds like she was a looker, but I like the Epi Samicks. The 57's were an accident. The dealer bought the guitar from this guy who was so hungry for cash he never mentioned he'd put them in. So I bascially got the pups free. Even though I felt like I 'stole' it for what I paid (even without the 57's the price was righteous), I don't feel guilty at all, because my dealer made what he wanted to on it, and he was pretty stoked I got an A+ guitar.
