And damn, it plays and sounds amazingly, the more i play it the better it feels! The Warpig pickups really ROCK through this amp, perfect match i think, clear note definition even with both preamp and power amp drive set to full, so this was a perfect match. Whats funny also is, its noticeable lighter than my SG GT even though the body on this one is quite a bit thicker.
Love the neck and satin finish, and everythings just great, im planning to buy some recording equipment. Anyone can recommend a setup to mic up the amp? I already decided for the Shure SM57, but what else do i need?

Hurrah - so glad it got there safe and sound

Am hoping to change my courier to UPS - I have come to loathe aspects of dealing with the company I have been using - UPS will handle everything from collection to delivery without handing goods over to a sub-contractor or 3rd party.

It's a great little guitar - hope it rocks your world

Yes, and a damn sturdy feeling one to, Jonathan, i just have one question about the tailpiece height, i noticed that it was screwed down pretty low and thus some of the strings touch the back of the tune-o-matic. I personally dont notice anything wrong with this, but i heard this can destroy the saddles over time/break strings earlier, is this true, or just myth (dont really care about changing strings, but wouldnt want the bridge to collapse)? Just taking care of the guitar, better ask than be sorry later  :lol: Perhaps i could either raise the tailpiece a tad to set the strings free from the back, or string the string over the tailpiece, what do you think Jon? If you dont think it will cause a problem id rather leave it as it is, because seems perfectly fine to me^^

Might be able to do some clips with the digital camera, but not sure ill bother since the sound quality usually gets cr@ppy anyhow.

It should be fine as it is , although will be fine to raise it a touch
The tailpiece is pretty sturdy - its one of the old Wilkinson USA ones from about 12 years ago

So, this guitar is getting setup for C-tuning with some thicker strings and a tailpiece overwrap, just to try it out, and i think it will end up even more brutal, also, as im leaving it in for the setup anyway ill go along and change the pots to 1 meg ones, heard so much good about these and warpigs, and after that ill take some better pictures, its the most awesome guitar ive seen, looks simple, but so elegant, and it feels great to hold in my hands, absolutely love it. I remember when i saw it at the site and thought, that SG looks nice, and then it just grew on me more and more and then i just had to get it, so i asked Jonathan to put it on hold while i sold of some stuff in desperation to afford it  :twisted:

I think you'll like the 1meg pots.  I know my pigged SLSMG with 1meg pots sound great!  The previous owner of the guitar had a JB/Jazz set with the 1meg pots and just did not sound right in a maple neck through with an ebony fretboard.  A5 Warpigs solved that and more!  I wouldn't change them for anything.
