Congrats, xtJohn! There is probably a name for the moment when you open the box, take in the beauty, pick it up, and... find out the sound is even better than you hoped!
Very cool that the guitars you and your friend ordered at the same time, arrived at the same time - nice to share that experience. And, fun that you were able to play, exchange, and play some more... those two guitars are an interesting comparison and compliment.
Enjoy! And, when you can, photos of both are always appreciated.
