Once home, the pups required some height adjustment, I did find the neck muddy until I backed it off a bit, quite jazzy after that. It was from one of my fav shops, and they were having their 15th anniversary sale (15% off) in a few days, which they forwarded to me so I didn't have to come back in on a Saturday (they are often swamped on Sat). Was made up playing it acoustically (as some may remember from this thread), I plugged it in only to make sure everthing worked. It's much lighter than the 339 (around 6 lbs). I wasn't looking for another hollowbody (as I have an Epi 339), but oh. I recently aquired a used AM73B for about $200, which is basically the same guitar with a satin finish, without the pickup covers.
