You don't see too many of these around, I just got this one in, special ordered from Matt's Music and thought I'd give a little report. Estimated wait time was three months and it arrived in 65 days after placing the order. In addition Matt's was the lowest price around. I'm happy with all of that and will definitely order from him again.
It is a lovely axe, more of a wine red than a brighter cherry red, the latter of which would help show the flame top a bit better. It also appears to lack a certain bit of the translucent depth of my green and blue ones. I did make a special request that they try and use a particularly nice flame top, this one is all right but I don't think they paid too much attention to my request. It's certainly not like the green one. Some of the detail was lost in the images when I resized them.
Don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy to have it. Still looks very sharp up close and definitely plays and sounds amazing. Perfect action, perfect intonation, it just rips. Some pictures below as well as the obligatory group shot. Enjoy.
