| Guitar arrived this morning and it is quite a beauty in vintage burst. Just finished sound checking it and well, this has some serious rocking to promise. I was trying to provide a detailed info on the guitar but there is some errors I can not understand when I was posting it. I wish I can upload the photos of mine here so you can also see. |

| Finally got today the Myaxe guitar in tobacco burst that I ordered (September 6). Took them five days to deliver through TNT. It came with a hardcase for Les Paul but is unmarked. Have not tried the sound yet as I had just unwrapped it after TNT delivered it to my office. From the way it looks, the finish is very good (what do you call those finish with imprints like wood grain? quilted?) and must be polyurethane. Guitar is quite heavy than I expected, maybe around 6 kilograms. The gold bridge and stop tail has deep gold finish while the machine heads finish is quite yellowish and there is a logo that looks like letter W at the back of the tuners. The fretboard is similar to my Fender MIJ so I believe this is rosewood too. Neck is set joint as claimed and is semi C-shaped. Low action adjustment. My guitar serial number is MS07080433. My only complaint as of now (hope there will be none after I tested the sound) is that two knobs appeared to be broken as they come off the pots. Package looked like it has gone some sort of rigid handling but guitar in general is safe. I wish I could post a picture here so everyone can see. It is hard to describe things in words. That is all for now and after I test-sounded it, I will post another message. Thanks |

These are the photos of my guitar. Thanks to Michael for pointing out how to do it:

Now about the sound of the guitar, it is quite fat. I measured the pickups and the readings are: bridge = 11K; neck 9.7K. I still love the sound of an SD hot rod set so I am getting one to replace the stock pickups. |

| Looks the business (btw, its a 'flame-maple' effect on the body) certainly looks like you got a bargain...keep us updated. |
