I picked one of these up...and I know its no "cork sniffer" axe...but I have to say that its dialing into a real likable lil guitar...have no desires to change anything at this point...this one bought from sweetwater and I could give it the criteria eyeball,weight,ect...
No rough frets,they are actually kind of nice...hardware is what you'd expect, but not too bad and totally dial able...did crack it open and clean soldiered everything,nice...lowered PU posts to slight radius...filed/nailfile sanded nut height down and polished,..."slotted a few a little lower and evened out"...changed strings to of all things David gilmour 10.5-50 ghs boomers...through maz...really descent tone...let go of a prs s2 just didn't bond with...and low and behold this things got some of the old Yamaha vibe (earlier axes) and is not bad...fwiw.

Nice to hear. I’ve kinda been watching these. Haven’t been able to play one but I like what I’ve seen.

Congrats, that's a cool lookin' guitar. You don't have to sniff the cork to enjoy the wine, brother. Enjoy!

That model gets tons of praise, lots of folks talk about the craftsmanship and resonant qualities being comparable to guitars costing many times more. They do look awesome. Enjoy it!

Buying a guitar online is a gamble...but with return policies a good as sweetwater?...I might have got lucky (quality wise)...been eye balling this one (single) guitar they had up on web page for quite some time...Its highly figured top,every thing was were it should be (string/neck symmetry) and I am a fussy sob...they are a little different than cookie cutter and is growing on me...
