Great vids man!
I recently bought this same guitar at a Sam Ash and boy do I love this thing. I didn't know that she was loaded with the 57' Classics until I saw this thread lol.
Not an average Epi, or they stepped their game up lol. I had some fret problems but nothing some files didn't fix.
Here's a picture of mine. I installed Grover tulips, a different TRC, knob pointers and I dulled the finish a bit.
Plays almost as good as my old Gibby '74 custom.
