This is correct.

Funny story though. They sent me the wrong colour. So I'm arranging for it to be sent back to get the correct one! They are picking up the shipping costs (of course) but shit its going to hurt them because that's about £300 for the there and back.

Actually, maybe I should propose to them they refund me that much and I keep the wrong colour...

No. Propose to them that they give you a discount for your trouble and get what you wanted in the first place.

Un-dibs by the way... LOL. Not 'old curmudgeon' enough for me.

Molly you would appreciate a fellow I know (a Texan so you need to factor in his accent) who described my 7 string Strandberg as "four kinds of fucked" - based on 1. The body shape; 2. The enduro neck (google it); 3. The fan frets and 4. The 7th string :)

But it's quite stunning to play! As was the (wrong) 6 string one they delivered. But they are suited to a "technical" approach rather than plain old RAWK

Closest I've owned was a Steinberger and that was a great guitar. That was only, maybe, two kinds of fucked. ;-)

Just noticed this is made by World Musical Instruments who also make the SE range for PRS. They make some nice stuff!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
