I just got this guitar yesterday and my impressions, for what it's worth are that it is quite beautiful, plays very nicely (even though it needs set up work) and the two single coil pickups sound really good. Conversely, while I love the feel of the trem I am alarmed at how badly the strings (D and G in particular) get caught up in the graphite nut, even with very subtle use, and go out of tune. Has this been an issue for any of you? I also am disappointed in the Duncan JB bridge humbucker. I was expecting to have to replace it anyway so it's not that big a deal. I will tinker with it but I am not hopeful as I prefer something a bit more touch sensitive and less brash, for lack of a better word. I know it's regarded as a classic but it's not my cup of tea. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I expect I will settle on something with a substantially lower DC resistance reading (appx 8.0 K >). All in all, I still think it's a keeper and that I can resolve my concerns.
