Cheers! :)
And yeah Davey, it's superb, nicest guitar I've ever played, and it just so happens I own it, which is damn lucky :D
And really, the clearcoat does not get in the way at all for me, its not at all sticky or anything else which is attributed to finished necks, its absolutely lurvely, infact, I think a satin finish would make it less smooth if anything. ESP necks are definitely the best of any big brand, imo, they're hundreds of times more comfortable than a certain other brand's horrendously popular necks...
I think my next guitar will be an ESP Eclipse, that way I only need a Mirage and a Forest and then I have the whole lot :)
