Got this yesterday. Swapped it for a Duo Sonic that wasn't going to get played. Not even sure how much play this will see but it is a beaut. The previous owner had a bone nut fitted, fret ends sorted and wooden bridge replaced. Plays superbly and I am well chuffed with the deal.

They're lovely things. 
It's the guitar I keep going back to every time I go to my local guitar store. 
Congrats.

Cheers guys - This one plays lovely, it's been setup really well. I am a fender guy so it's a bit different but good all the same

That's a beauty.
It's actually the only guitar I fancy buying. I've got more guitars than I know what to do with but I could always find room for one of these.

That's nice. It looks better in reality than in the catalogue picture.

I have to admit I prefer the cherry finish and the wooden bridge, but I understand it may be a bit too James Bay for some people .

Does indeed. Love the stain finish

Like the red too, but I have a red strat so it's good to have some variety

can you use it acoustically or is it assumed you will plug it in?

Yes it sounds good even without power

@lovestrat74 ... so if you fitted an acoustic transducer you would end up with an acoustic archtop that could be used acoustically on its own, miked up, amplified as though an electro acoustic, and used as an electric archtop? sounds versatile to me

I'm really enjoying it. A lot different from what I am used to which is a good thing I guess.

How is this guitar going for you?

Nice, that!

I moved it on in the summer for an MJT Strat. Lovely guitar and lovely to play but was offered a great deal on the Strat...
