Congrats! Did you say you bought it online so you could have the option to return? Any good brick and mortar shop should offer the same.... and you get to pick your individual guitar.

I have met her and I have to add that she is a wonderfully kind and gracious woman as well. Grace is top notch.

These are all pretty accurate descriptions. The 12-fretter layout moves the bridge deeper back from the center of the X bracing. It definitely has a sweeter tone... not as aggressive. It has more swell in the bass as well. This is why I thought to do a 12-fretter. I just wanted to make a fuller, smoother guitar.

There is some adjustment too. as mentioned earlier, your point of reference will be off. if you close your eyes and grab what you think is the 5th fret based off of how far you are reaching, you will really be holding the 3rd fret. It's nothing bad. Just an adjustment.

Do they have any more of these available at BBs?

No. This was a one-off.
