Well, something got delivered a day early, so I don't have an amp with me to try it out right now:
Now curiously, the above photos represent how it looks to my eyes, but only after I did a little hue/whitebalance adjustment.
[Note/Edit: I re-did the hue adjustment and re-uploaded, because the final image presented here looked a touch too green. What I see above now looks pretty bang-on.]
The camera recorded it this way:
Maybe this explains my confusion mentioned in my "GAS treatments" thread about what color it really is, officially. the camera makes it look like it is truly Sapphire Smokeburst, but my eyes see it as something with a bit more green in there, similar to a color I have seen listed on the PRS site as Black and Blue Matteo.
I've had even more people comment on the color, remarking on how it looks just that little bit different with that hint of green.
Anyway...it plays very very nicely, but as mentioned, with no amp here at work I haven't had a chance to hear the pickups.
The brazzy board seems a little slipperier than "normal" (Indian) rosewood, a bit more like ebony if you will. The graining or whatever you call that texture is very close and small, which I'm sure contributes to that feel. The streakiness is nice but not too obvious.
End of the work day can't come soon enough.
