I bet that's been hard! I wouldn't have been able to resist.
It has been!
Everytime my wife went out somewhere the tempation to unpack it and plug in was almost too much to withstand!
Nearly there though, 24 hours and it will be in my hands!

Some nice looking guitars there. Do you think the Gibson '57s are a big improvement over the stock SE 245 pickups? Because I was debating that. I have an Epiphone LP Tribute that comes with coil tapped Gibson '57s in it, and comparing back and forth, I'm not sure they are all that much better. I do like the neck pickup using the coil/single tapped option, especially with cleans. But otherwise, the 245s really hold their own, especially when gain is added, I didn't see any improvement with the '57s.
I play through a high gain amp and the SE245 pickups just sound a tad more harsh to my ears.
The Gibson '57 Classics just sound smoother IMO.
Don't get me wrong, the SE245's are good pickups.
It may all just depend on the amp you're using and the type of music you play.
It's all just personal preference, I guess.
