Thanks for your kind words MrRoundel. I just hope nobody wakes me up for it only to be a dream
For the tone report I'll repeat what I stated in my posts in the G&L Porn category:

The red Trinity also has a black wrinkle powder-coated pickguard that Bob Page put on there and both of these guitars are noticeable quieter in the single pickup selection than my others. The in-between settings do not seem to make a difference between the aluminum and plastic pickguard guitars. And the Centennial has a kind of clarity to it that I have not heard before. Don't know whether it's the wood, the 7½" radius of the fretboard (most of mine are 12"), the hand-wound pickups, or the hardware, but this one rings like a bell.
The ergonomics: I have many different neck-shapes: thick, wide-fat, wide-thin, V-shaped, etc. Never been a real stickler on a particular kind of neck as long as it fits comfortably in my big hands. I have to check my Broadcaster to see whether that has a 7½" radius board too (I think so), but most of my guitars have 12" radii. The neck has a medium thickness I would say. Certainly not 'baseball bat'. But strung with 0.010's, I have not encountered the problem of fretting out yet; a problem that I have seen frequent references to. It plays a little different for sure, but no particular like or dislike. The overall sound is just fantastic, see above. And if my Broadcaster has a 7½" radius board, that is another thing these 2 guitars would have in common. As I learn more, I'll keep you posted.
