So far I think I'm the second fretboard member to buy one of these (or at least to show it off).

@punchesjudy said, I ordered the guitar on 21st June and it arrived today (23rd July) So I've had a month of checking the progress on here. The whole process of watching it being built and the attention to detail has been amazing.
https://i.imgur.com/lT3hwmH.jpgIn terms of size and weight (mass) it's about the same dimensions as an SG. The SG classic is heavier.
https://i.imgur.com/8lC2sAu.jpgHeadstock looks nice and the tuners are rock solid. The frets feel thinner that the Gibsons and the neck just feels like a fender to me. My only experience was playing someone's USA telecaster and it feels a lot like that.
https://i.imgur.com/a8nGvMF.jpgFinish wise, it's a beauty. The lacquer itself is quite soft and will mark easily but this is going to be my main playing and recording guitar.
https://i.imgur.com/8BiJR4z.jpgSound wise, it's much brighter than the SG with p90s. More like a telecaster come jazzmaster. A really great mix of brightness, clarity and grit. The SG sounds muddy in comparison. The pickups look like a different spacing to the bridge but that's something I will probably never notice again. Certainly not soundwise.
https://i.imgur.com/03MnmID.jpgOverall It's a quality bit of kit and the coolest looking guitar I've ever seen. I'm chuffed to bits with it.
Dealing with Elliot (Trent)
@TrentGuitars has also been a pleasure. He kept in touch at every stage and I know that if there were any issues he would go out of his way to deal with them.
Now back to playing it.
