It’s like I’ve been reborn.

    I like that top a lot. The lower bout looks like it belongs on a custom. If they’d had a book matched piece to it, I’d bet that’s where it’d be. Beautiful guitar. Congrats!

    Awesome! Looks gorgeous and I’m sure it sounds great :D Congrats!

    One thing that surprised me, even though it’s talked about all over the place is the weight. I didn’t really notice while picking the guitar up, or when I started playing it really. After an hour+ of playing while standing my neck started to ache a little. I straight up thought I was just getting old until I picked up my Dean ML and almost flung it across the room on accident. If you aren’t a fit individual definitely check in with your neck/shoulders while playing it :p

    A wide strap has helped a lot.

    I’ve been playing an ES-335 Studio since about 1999.

    I love the look and feel of it, but it has the dirty fingers pickups and they just aren’t great.

    I’m considering replacing the pickups with a better set of Gibsons, or maybe going for something crazy like some Seymour Duncan P-Rails.

    Congrats! What guitar are you coming from, and what’s the difference like?
