i took a test drive last friday
my mates say it sounded awesome plugged in
i am getting my sound hole cover shortly and i ordered an ebony armrest for the upper bout,.
i dont care for the volume control- its not sensitive enough, its like on and loud and not much in between. i am guessing it will take some time to break the woods in, the sound is very even across the strings, the B is not as strong acoustically as i hoped but that may be to its being brand new as noted above. plugged in it is sweet and sexy, very much reminded me of the  sound of the godfather with more of an acoustic tone but a real nice low end sound and very very clean.i give it a 9.50 out of 10. markleys are the strings of choice according to them as they tested  a ton of em in developmnent, roundwounds but very playable. am glad i got #1. it aint goin nowhere.
i will post some more pics soon. i am taking it out again tonight,  
its a nice complement to wolf,scarlet(soon), the classico and my ns5 crm. which is what i reduced my inventory to.
