Finally after much gnashing and grinding of teeth ...


it ...



arrived ...


Popped over to the pub and collected her(Pub = local postie) ...



Homeward bound to admire the packaging ...



My minions try to figure out what it is ...



Lets just say the packaging was quite satisfactory ...



Pretty ESP soft case ...



Guess what, more packaging!



Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you ...



It's so pretty ...



Forgive my blurry photography ...



And last but not least, BOX-MAN ...



So there you have it. I am very very pleased with the guitar itself. Never had a guitar that you could control both pickups individually and it's proving to be very useful. They seem well balanced compared to my PRS. Appears to be the same volume across all strings where the PRS seems to drop out a bit on the high-e, this could probably be easily fixed.

The action is very low and produces a little fret-buzz, intonation is remarkably close but a little bit of tweaking and I should have it perfect. I'm loving the seymours, giving a new depth and feel to the stuff I play. It's defo not going to replace my PRS but will definitely give me a different edge to my playing.

The fretboard is like silk, access to the top is slightly hampered but not overly so. Due to doing my back in I could only sit down and play for periods of 10-20 mins before I had to get up and walk around. Should get more playing out of it during the week.

So for a measly €710, I can't really recommend one enough! Les Paul, schmes paul, just get a perfect copy

Killaqueen!!!

I like the photo story.

Sweet guitar ! How long was the delivery and what kinda pick ups are on it?

From sending the first email 22Jun to 6th of July. I think it might have been held up in customs for a bit. From memory I think the pickups are SH-1 and SH-4 ... might have to look that one up again.

Wow! Your pub is your post office!?

It's attached to a post office and my mate happens to work in the pub.
Very handy considering I'm never home during delivery times. No taking days off work just to get a package.

nice! you get that from ishibashi?

Yup, straight from IshiGAShi.

In a town near where I am from there's your typical pub out the back shop at the front combo, but the best part is at night time going by the door it's not unusual to see auld lads drinking in the shop! They even set tables up in it! My mates dad's spot is leaning on the meat counter! "Jameson and red there please and a few slices of ham!" :rolleyes:

Back on topic if it is an SH-4 it rocks. I have one and it's my favourite pick-up so far!

It wasn't me!

Shops & postoffices, that's nothing, there's a pub in the field around the corner from me..."Another can o' Dutch Gold, Anto!.."

But er, yeah, lovely guitar
