The wait is over! It came in a day earlier than expected. Spent the whole day taking it with me and getting in playing time here and there. LOVE IT! It has wonderful sustain, my wife says it's not as bright as the sceptre (concert) I normally play, the volume is perfect. That is exactly what I told Jerry I wanted because I am just starting to learn to pick leads. I made a video so you can see and hear it. The sound quality is awful on the recording (not in person) but my enjoyment level was high! Ha! If you can tolerate the singing, I just pick it at the end. It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
