I could say that I am a beginner, however, I can appreciate the beauty of a well-made guitar. To me, it might as well cost 2x what it costs now and the price would definitely be justified.
It looks great, the outer lacquer changes colour when you look at it from a different angle relative to the incoming light.
The guitar arrived brilliantly packaged and is practically ready to play. The string action is slightly higher than on my 6-string guitars, but it doesn't bother me at all and I'm not going to lower it at this point.
Fishmans sound brutal. I can't get enough of them.
Taking this guitar in my hands, it feels like there is a lot more wood under the paw. The neck gives a great feel in the hand through the lack of varnish finish and gives the feeling of dealing with actual wood, to give great satisfaction.
It takes a little getting used to the extra string and the multiscale, but it's a very enjoyable challenge.
Overall, I love it. A lot.
