It plays great. When I first took it out of the shipping box, the action was really (too) low. The high E was actually touching the first fret. I was sort of bummed/upset that it was so bad and let it sit for two days. Thought I might need some nut work (on a 12 string----yikes). When I picked it up again it was perfect. Weird. And, yes, I did let it sit inside in the unopened packing box for about 8-10 hours. Maybe that wasn't enough or maybe it just had to adjust to the humidity.

Anyhow, the action is great. Intonation is great, and I like the 24.75" scale. It holds it's tuning very well. The pickups are very articulate and the doubled single coil can be split by a push/pull that comes standard but wasn't mentioned in the specs.

I did buy it new, but already forget the exact price. I used some MF % off deal that brought the price way down. $480 I think.

I wish I could find a hard case for it though. The thing is so darn long it won't fit in any case I've tried.
