Congrats, RP. I'm pretty much done buying wood guitars -- I strongly favor CF now and have not bought a wooden guitar since 2014. But trying a 517BE in my LGS (back when we could still do that) almost changed my mind. And ditto on the pick guard removal. I don't need them and try to remove one ASAP on any guitar, new or used. I have always wished that the pick guard came loose in the case, but I understand why they are desirable in a retail setting.
