Thank you pippy. I've managed to get in about an hours worth of play time. Here's a couple things I noticed:
The Grover tuners are very smooth and accurate.
The pups are pretty hot. They sound really good. Very full and no ice pick on the bridge, but they push my normal amp settings a little more than I like. My main rig is a Helix. I create a separate patch for each song we do in my band. So I'm hoping I don't need to have a separate patch for using the LP. I'll need more time to figure that out.
The wide nut is a non issue right now. I'm not a thumb over the top player. I can't say it has any advantage or disadvantage at this point.
The Richlite board feels great and the guitar has a very nice acoustic tone, so I don't see any disadvantage from that.
I would have preferred medium frets, but I can live with the low frets till I wear them out. Then she'll get SS mediums.
I haven't dug into the dip switch settings and I'm not sure what they are set on now. But the tones I got when popping up the tone knobs was very usable. More so than the majority of split or tap settings I've used.
I wasn't going to get another LP, because I'm a light weight and they normally aren't. I planned on getting a new SG until I strapped a new '18 on and the head dove for the floor. This LP weighs 8.5#, which is the same as my Am Dlx Strat, so I'm good with that.
Because I didn't really need another guitar, especially one this nice, it was a bit of a stretch buying this. My honey do list will be long for the foreseeable future. But right now I'm feeling like I'm glad I went for it.
Except for one thing. That aluminum case. Man that thing is over kill. It's huge, it weighs a ton. I doubt I'll ever take it out of the house. I'll probably use a nice padded gig bag I have. But what the H am I gonna do with this coffin they sent me?
