I am really enjoying this guitar - along with the familiar LP sounds, it has some great single coil and single/humbucker combination sounds that I just love. Overall the guitar has a great feel - I am enjoying playing a different neck than usual. Someone at another site mentioned that it is also a 14" radius neck, so flatter than I am used to as well. The Grover tuners feel really solid, and I've even come to appreciate the look of the back I've never had an LP style guitar, and actually, I had never really felt interested - once the thought hit me I just got carried away (of course running into the one I wanted at a deep sale price helped me over the edge), but I am very happy to have followed the impulse.

One temporary disaster - the knobs got mashed onto the pots in shipping and were scraping the body, so I had to take them off to adjust them - they were stuck on good but all went well until the last of the coil tap pots, when I yanked the shaft right out of the pot! Gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair... When I looked inside, I was dismayed at the thought of trying to redo that intricate soldering work if I replaced the pot, so I attempted to take the switch apart and see if I could fix it. Took a lot of head-scratching and muttering under my breath, but I was able to get it back together - thank goodness!

Funny delivery story - my wife works long days all summer and is NEVER at home during the day. The day of scheduled delivery, I was dismayed to find her puttering around the house. "Gee, don't you have to go to work?" No, she was going to catch up with a few things at home that morning. I retreated to the shop, determined to catch the UPS man coming in, and hoping that she would leave soon, but I soon heard, "There's a big box for you on the porch!" called out from the house. When I come in, "Is that the new beekeeping equipment?" And then reading my face and lack of immediate response I get 'the eye':: "Is it a GUITAR!?" Sheepish hemming and hawing on my part. Actually, she doesn't care but likes to give me humorous grief about it. "Hmmm", she says; "My guitar sensing antennae were tingling today, so I stayed home..."
