This arrived at work today. Got lots of oohs and aahs as I opened it up, ever so carefully!
Plays very nicely (gee, what a surprise) - I tested it at really really low volume through a practice amp I keep at work (it is lunch time, but I usually use headphones). The tones sound pretty interesting - can't wait to get it home and run it through my Archon or HXDA.
The quilt is very 3D - as you move around (or move the guitar around), the hills and valleys really stand out as 3D textures.
The violet is a little less intense than some that I have seen - comes across nicely!
Shout out to @Brian G for fantastic service once again!
First the case, which is very nice, and will probably never leave the house except when/if I move:
Top view, overall:
Top view of the body:
Side view, showing the lovely swamp ash back a bit:
Back:
If you look at the back normally, it blends very nicely, almost looks like a one-piece back. You can see the three-piece build of the back in this view:
Flamed maple neck, very smooth with that "naked/satin" feel:
