Finished her up today and got it all dialed in, and Man I am in love ! Instant bond with it and I can tell right away it will be one of if not my favorite. Super comfortable to play and the neck is a dream. I spent more time than usual on the fretwork while waiting for the Nitro to cure, and it definitely paid off. I was a little disappointed in the final finish, as it seems some of the purple went away somehow, but it is a brilliant mirror finish. I really like the EMG JR Daemonum set, and was surprised how well they cleaned up also.
