Very good looking!

I took 800 grit sandpaper to my Epi and deglossed it after I bought it. They do seem to harden after a while and get slicker feeling, too.

Nice, and congrats! I had some time a month or so ago, found myself near a GC and stopped in to try some electrics, mainly 335 and Les Paul type guitars, maybe a PRS. Those I tried didn't knock me out, so I walked around trying out whatever I thought looked interesting and wound up liking an Ibanez the best (I think it was similar to yours but a single cut). I was pretty surprised. (Also surprising is that the closest contender was a Fender Jazzmaster.)

congrats. When I was looking I wound up with an Epiphone Sheraton II. Made in Korea. With some minor tweaking, I am very happy with the sound, fit and finish.

Been playing this little dude for about a week now, very impressed. As I said, I'm mostly fooling with fingerstyle jazz stuff on this and it works very well.

Next step is a better amp.... Currently I've got a little Behringer practice number, it's one of those "modeling" amps with a number of different amp and cabinet types modeled. Theoretically, anyway. Some of the positions are pretty useless but I can get an acceptable sound out of the thing.

I hear good things about the Roland Cube series, and one of the more recommended items, a Yamaha 50 amp, is unfortunately no longer made.

Any ambitions to buy a tube amp? I have quite a nice Vox with all kinds of effects built in, but I'm toying with getting something a bit nicer for my Godin.
