Some photos! It's a busy weekend so a full writeup will have to wait. In short I like it a lot. I took about 3/32 off the saddle, tightened the truss rod just a little, and it's playing pretty slick!
right out of the box  Saddle height as shipped. Crikey!  Saddle height now. A bit lower than I intended - UST will fix that. The strings are kinked a little from the high saddle, so maybe it's actually just right.  First look at the headstock...spooky? They managed not to show it at all in the shipping video.  Hanging in its place, next to my first guitar.

That is absolutely stunning, congratulations. Royal Ebony is of course my favorite. Just curious, how do you like the new fretboard compared to the old one?

Because not having any, but having rich imaginations, they think everything looks like a lion. I look at the guitar and I see a polar bear.
