    First impressions are:-
    Its VERY small - it's 25.5 scale but visually it looks small. I'd never actually held one in my hands until I got this one.
    It hangs great. The heavy bits (tuners/trem) are at the heel end and it has an offset strap hook so the balance is v comfortable
    Good range of tones.
    The neck is graphite. V. solid feeling. Not as slim as I expected - definately more "C-shaped". Nice smooth feel.
    The whole thing is built like the proverbial brick s**thouse.
    It does take getting used to having no headstock. You are always further up the fret board than you think. The octave marker seems to to be way too far from the body and near the headstock end. I was actually tuning it to the 7th fret instead of the 5th before I caught on to what I was doing. This is something that I sure I will get accustomed to quickly

    I wont bore you with the convoluted mental process it took for me to decide to buy this guitar but the bottom line is I always wanted to get one of these babys and now I have.
    Strangely I still cant play like Buck Dharma :cool:

    Nice guitar there dude, I've never played anything like it but I'd imagine you're a happy camper all the same.

    The feel of a new guitar is always great isn't it....you end up playing and playing and all of a sudden it's five in the morning and you've learned at least a few foibles the guitar has but you're still in the courting phase.....
