In fact, I'm going to leave it.

The price is right, and its a cool guitar and all, but something about that red finish... and you know what - I have some really nice strats, plus my Yamaha SGV (modded with a Paul Gilbert injector).

errr....

guess i'll let you know how mine is when it comes then Philly  :roll:

Eeeeexcellent.

I did hope that someone would succumb, though until I got my McCarty I did think it would probably be me. :)

More info from Paul himself - a discussion of neck thickness just for Philly!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFE2YKMjs2U&feature=related

That was good!  :D   I like listening to Paul Gilbert, he's intelligent and (this'll sound weird but....) he has a good speaking voice.

Just watched - great vid indeed. "When you're a guitar player you must tweak. I can't help myself"  :D
I think I hate being indecisive.

Should be worth the wait as it seems great and there really is nothing like it.

Gives me longer to think about it!  :lol:

But I was kinda hoping you'd get yours quickly and do a review for us....
