Not necessarily an action shot, but the first in its new home.  I’m loving it.  The neck feels great and very comfortable.  And through my rig, that neck pickup really sings.  You hit a homerun on this one.  All the work you put into it is really appreciated.

We are SO happy that you are enjoying your new instrument!
