Here you go. Side by side comparison.
I'm pretty pleased it has to be said, however there's a little issue on the bridge pickup that's (hopefully) being addressed today. Pickup is noiseless until you play a note and there's a little crackling as the note decays. My tech guy says it's probably a grounding issue or a dry solder joint. He's sorted out far worse previously, so I trust his judgment.
Otherwise, it's great. Balances nicely, pickups sound nice clean or effected. The body is a bit bigger, but to me not significantly so. I'm a big bloke, so it probably looks normal. Heh. I like the forearm bout chamfer...so used to the Gibson slab, so no more bruises. The reverse headstock will take a bit of getting used to. Stock set up had the action a tad high, so dropped the bridge a couple of mm both sides to get a bit of rattle.
