Congrats...

Yeah I grabbed that one. It was new, but had been in the store for a while and needed some TLC from being in people's hands while on display. She's in great shape minus a little, minor chip on the top of the headstock and a few very minor scratches. Neck is straight as an arrow and action is SUPER low and buzz-free. Good news is that I live 10 min from Kevin Brubaker's shop!!!

I almost went there last weekend to check it out...But the sales person never called me back. (figures...)

Congrats again!

why are the neck bolts halfway through the body? does that do anything different to the tone?

IME it seems to really help the sustain of the instrument, which is usually at least as good as a neck through, if not better. It also seems to have the sonic attack of a bolt-on... imagine a nice Fender Jazz with excellent sustain.

The neck actually has a tongue that's probably 1/2" thick that's inserted into the body.
