Took awhile to get this because the wrong model got sent but it was sure worth the wait. I've had it for a few weeks and I am really impressed with the X-Series. Same quality as my DKMG was, but I like the Kelly a lot more mostly because the shape is easier to play for me. The basswood is heavy enough that the guitar doesn't feel cheap but light enough that you can have it strapped on for hours without feeling tired. Overall, the guitar is finished really well. It looks amazing. Off-white binding and rosewood fretboard is on the darker side with the signature sharkies. The only flaws are a micro crack on the back edge of the headstock and there is a teeny section on the corner of the large horn that didn't get covered with black paint so you can see wood through the gloss, both of these are only noticeable ~30 cm away and are almost not worth noting. The FR Special is solid and holds tune well really happy with it, it only needs fine tuning adjustments once or twice a week. My only complaint is the trem arm is a little wobbly if it isn't screwed in tight but is a lot better than the JT580 LP which was always wobbly (don't know if it is better on OFR). I have light top heavy bottom D'addario strings on it so we will see how the zinc saddles hold up and I may change out the sustain block one day. Thanks to everyone who helped me with the decision on buying this amazing ax!

Custom insert I made for my explorer case. Just traced onto XPS foam, cut it out and covered with some camo fleece fabric I had. 4 separate pieces.
Fits super snug really happy with how it turned out!
