Not really down with the headstock shape, but other than that it's bloody nice. 8)

Four days is mighty quick!

Doesn't look like it.

Cool guitar btw. I'm more of a fan of the Ravelle, but that's pretty decent.

didn't come with a sustainer, because the sustainer version (monterey elite) comes in ugly finishes imho.

it'd also be fairly in-practical for me to have a sustainer, and instead I get an EMG 60 neck.

i've wanted this guitar since forever, so it's great to finally own one :). not too big on the ravelle personally though

this is a 2008/2009 model, the 2008/2009 elites don't come in the same finishes anymore, they also have a big abalone binding i'm not huge on
