She's finally here!

After a quick setup, and playing it for a few hours and I can say its my new #1 guitar. But there's not much to go up from a Jackson USA.

A few quick thoughts:

- The neck at the nut is slightly beefier.
- The stainless steel frets really make a nice subtle difference on the bends (easier).
- Its slightly heavier giving it nice sustain (FU tone big block)
- Colour is glorious goes from gray to blue depending on the light

The only things I don't like are the headstock, it looks kinda bulky from the back. I should take a pic.

Overall I'm super happy!

Congrats, that's a cool looking guitar and Lee does great stuff.

Damn, that is sweet looking. Nice choice in the color and the solid logo.

Metallic colors change in different lighting; it's wild! My Fender teal green metallic, as well as my Carvin blue mist metallic, do that.

That headstock+Soloist body has grown on me actually. I think it looks real cool!

How long did it take from paying to shipping the guitar?
