Impressions:
I'll start by saying that I'm shocked that more people don't play these guitars. I suppose you could probably say the same about a lot of the medium sized custom builders out there, but man, what a deal. This guitar cost me under 800 dollars, built to my specifications, shipped direct from the factory to me. I'd guess that the reason most people don't play them, is that the resale value is probably pretty low compared to an American fender/gibson, so I guess these are really players guitars.
The fit an finish are exquisite. I've never played a better or faster neck than the one on this guitar. As you'll see in the last picture, the neck heel is fucking ridiculous. It makes reaching frets 20+ on a les paul look like trying to play around a brick.
The setup is absolutely perfect. I don't think it would be possible to get the strings any lower without fret buzz. The fret ends are smooth, and the guitar arrived in Chicago, shipped from California, completely in tune.
I would say that the coil splitting is pretty convincing, particularly on the neck. Which is great for me, because I'm partial to a single in the neck with a hambacker in the bridge.
The only con, would be the pickups. These pups are great, but just not absolutely 100% what I was looking for. I'd like a bit more punch in the bridge, but the neck pup is fantastic. I won't really say that this is necessarily a problem with the pups themselves, but rather a problem with buying any guitar sight unseen. You read specs and reviews, and hope that what you're getting will be what you want.
Anyway, enough babbling, here are some pics:
