Not near as long a wait as my last couple buys, but it still seemed like forever. Now, I really couldn't sit down and play thanks to my cyst procedure this morning, but I just had to plug it in and take her for a short dance...even though I really should have waited 'til tomorrow. Just something about putting the strap on and well, you know how it is haha. Slightly different feel than my old Custom 24, but that may also be due to me being extra timid because of my fretting hand being a tad wonky from all the needle pokes. The Doc couldn't use as much freezing in the area because he didn't want to do any damage to the tendon, so it hurt like Hell more than a few times.
Definitely see a big difference in the pickups, much brighter and more edgy than the ones on the old Custom. Definitely like the dual mini toggles for tapping the coils individually. Will know more about them tomorrow if my fingers aren't too sore. And then I'll play it for a bit and see if I want any further little adjustments made to it in a couple weeks. I'll be playing chauffeur for the missus back into the city more than once after her surgery so that will be easy enough to fit in.
Visually it's typical of what I expected of the quilt to be, just a slight lack of definition in part of it, but certainly not any reason to throw it back IMO. My phone is pretty crappy compared to what's out there now, so the pics don't really do it justice. Much more pleasing to the eye than my Sapphire Blue one was. And it was actually pretty good.
