The black ash one with the contrast gray grain is my favorite. Prettiest ever.It is! Plays like butter. Of course, right now we're in our honeymoon period but... as always... hoping for a solid long term relationship!

I've heard of Viking mustard, but not mayonnaise!
Sorry, couldn't resist...
Beautiful axe! I hope the honeymoon goes well and you spend many happy years with her.
It's like a modern take on a Rickenbacker! Beautiful! Tell me more about it - how's the string spacing? How low does the action go? How much does it weigh?After numerous TB posts nagging everyone to try to get some info on these puppies, I went back to the shop, realized I was in love with it, and took it home before someone else did. It's got everything I want right now (of course that changes by the day), except for free pierogis. I'll get some myself at the market later.
The neck is so smooth with incredibly low action and, while it definitely doesn't have a "vintage" sound, it does offer a lot of variation on what one might call a "modern" sound. (see the 21000 threads on what that even means for clarification!) It does gat vintage-y though when I push it through my DG vintage microtubes! Sweeeeet..... mmmmm......
I'm looking forward to hearing how it sounds in the room with a live situation this week and also tracking in a recorded mix. Will report back!

A strange and wonderful land! Depending on whether you take the blue pill or the red pill... The gateway to another mind, perhaps!!! Or maybe it's just for 9v batteries. I aim to find out!!That is beautiful.
Where do all those little doors on the back go to?
Exactly! Thanks for validating what I thought as well! I thought the same thing when I first played it. The body shape and even the asymmetrical headstock is very much reminiscent of a Ric design... Just in a more modern, evolved form. Cool!!It's like a modern take on a Rickenbacker! Beautiful! Tell me more about it - how's the string spacing? How low does the action go? How much does it weigh?

You have a Rickenbacker - how does it compare? What are the similarities? What are the differences? Does it sound similar?Exactly! Thanks for validating what I thought as well!
