Just got this in from the States and cleared it through customs a few days ago...
Great guitar, good quality workmanship for the price - you can of course catch tiny flaws in the binding/inlay work etc if you look for it, but overall it's very well done considering how labour intensive all that stuff would have been.
Neck profile reminds me of the Model 6 I had, maybe even a bit faster - the neck through "heel" is definitely great for upper frets access. Stock pickups are the weak point, really hot ceramic 'buckers, abit sterile and over compressed as result. Will swap em out in future I think.
I'm loving the satin gold hardware, it's a bit different from the usual glossy stuff. The "donut" tuners also look way cool.
Here are the pics...
