Just arrived so I only had a few minutes to play with it before having to get back to work. Feels and looks great though. Very light compared to my tenor and even my Fluke but that may largely be the electronics difference.
I can already tell I'm going to have to put new strings on - Blacklines, Worths, or PhD have worked on my tenors but this is my first concert other than the Eleuke which seems to have its own fret spacing ideas (that I like).
I like the wood grain a lot, especially on the left half of the front. I'm going to try shining it up just the slightest bit in hopes I get more of that yellow/orange color (like the photo in the case with the sunlight) and enhance the grain. Not going gloss though. And of course I'm going to add a pineapple inlay "sticker" on the head and fret markers!
For now just have to spend some time with it and get the feel of the smaller concert neck.
Aloha!
