Yeah, the Cruise is nice, I'd go for it if I didn't have one. Seller is a very decent guy.
Since playing the 8ers and messing around with MANY string combos I'm pretty sure I prefer long scale with a 17-105 set. I can chord them no problem and the sound is hellacious. Looking forward to seeing what 4 more strings add and how different it plays. Pretty sure I could get my money back if I don't like it. The list on a new one is insane.
