Company Xmas Party today; a bit of heave ho and attempted fish murdering on the harbour. So once all the work is finished, and because I can't leave well enough alone, I'll get down to the important stuff. :D

Thanks Snarly; I'm sure nobody's house will need to be knocked down. :thumbup:

no, the exact opposite actually, it's a very nice looking guitar, whatever the brand. It would still be a nice looking guitar even if it were a Gibson or PRS

It is pretty, but that's not why I bought it. It feels very good too. Used it at a band practice last week and noticed that none of my reservations about the pickup performance applied anymore. It sounded really good. The only change I had to make was to lighten my touch for comping. And at solo time, dig in a bit and that's all. Next week, I'm going to try bypassing the pedalboard completely. Not convinced this guitar needs one.

Was the absence of the reservations due to the new Seth Lover set?

Easy Peasy! My new favourite tool is an old bicycle spoke.

And it's official; I do not have tin ears. All the one dimensional-ness of the Aria pickups? Gone! Haven't even got the Seths balanced yet and first strum caused a huge grin.

This is a very nice guitar. :D

ib:bg: Yes, it has a short tenon. There. I said it first!!!!! :moresarc:
