I am indeed.... It really is a superlative instrument and a joy to play.

The guitar came with some La Bella Phosphor Bronze .012"-.054" strings. I am going to try some PB, 80/20, and Monel strings with .013s (E) and .017s (B) and also some TI BeBop .013"-.053" to get a better sense to the KA single coil tone. The PU works with the PB strings but is no where near it will be with nickel strings.

Congratulations. Beautiful guitar. Am seriously tempted to commission a jazz special with a fingerstyle spacing.......
