I "accidentally" ordered this a couple days ago. And it's here. Seeing as it's real pretty and so far plays really nicely, I might as well keep it. Going to have to put my own strings of choice on her and give it a proper review...but frankly, that may be awhile because I'm not done playing it yet.

Liking the neck, it's not quite as meaty as my Epi V, which has a thick'n'meaty '58 profile neck, but not as slender as a slim-taper either. Somewhere in between, and it's nice and comfy. Another cool feature (which personally makes no diff to me) is that the paint on the back of the neck isn't a glossy finish, like the rest of the instrument, it's dull, satin/matte type finish so the hands don't stick. Now, this has never been an issue for me personally, but I know a lot of guys get too much friction out of a gloss finish, so it's probably an advantage in the right hands....get it? Hands? HANDS. Because you play with your hands? Right? Get it?

Jeez, you guys are a tough crowd...anyway, onto the pics, and for now there's only a couple of em....

Okay, that's all for now. I'm going to get back to breaking this thing in!!
 
THATS FOOGIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-- no wait its A FAKE-- its a COPY --- its OBVIOUSLY a rip off of a 50 year old Gibson design they couldnt GIVE AWAY when they first came out-------no......hold on --- nope wrong headstock

and it probably WORKS (like all the pick ups FUNCTION out of the box??????)

and you DONT have to pay a Luthier 100.00 to "set it up" for you

and you dont have to dress the frets?

IT intonates?????

--- you can just PLAY it ---- wow--- your what ???? your PLAYING IT NOW ?!?! GREAT HOAGANS GOAT MAN --- you DIDNT LET IT ACCLAMATE for 48 hours in the box ---- oh dear LORD --- the HORROR --- the freaking HORROR


mattee finish is better in the humidity ---er if ya spill beer alot --- or vomit while playing ----

I rarely vomit while playing -- the AUDIENCE hurls un stop-ably --- but I dont mind...................
 
Ok...quick backstory....on Saturday, I went and played guitar with this guy, and sat in one of his pre show lessons:

Then, I went to the meet and greet and met all these guys again:

Then the rest of my band met em all too:

Then those guys all defaced my favorite V and ruined it's sexy aesthetics!!

So.......
There I was, lookin' at new Vees, see, and I foolishly left my finger hovering above the "order now" button. All was going well until I looked away for just a second, and BAM!!! my finger decided that we needed to have that guitar.

By the time I noticed, it was too late. The deed was done, and the guitar was halfway here.

So here I am, just trying to be making the best of a decent situation.

The pickups are Duncan's, a TB-5 (bridge) and a APH-1 (neck).
