Finaly my new Drop Top has arrived!!

[morty]

I got tha happy message yesterday from my local post office, your package has arrived!! i suddenly got a ig smile in my face!!

finaly i got it home, since i ordered in april/march. due to some logistic problems it had been a bit delayed, but i amhappy anyway!!

I only got time to play it yesterday evening, but first impression is good!!
I compared it with my current DT and it was retty similar sounding mut a tadd more bottom,as i wished, and better neck feel, and frets more suited for me.. the set up was a bit higher than my current. the tremolobar ferfect for my style, just as i had adjusted on my current one :-)

The finnish was stunning!! and i loved the flamed maple top`s flame figurations! a bit different from my very straight one on my current, but i realy liked it.The neck feel at the backside was much better, but felt a bit thicker, maby its because of the new neck heel. or its just a feeling.

I am taking it to my first gig tonight, just after two days!!!

pics will come later!!!

Just a little status report!! I Played it for my first gig on saturday!! it was fantastic!! it cut troug even better than my current DT! and had a bit fuller frequensees area! more bottom. And the low rise frets was perfect for me! i liked the heavies too, but low rise suited me better. bending was easier too, but i guess its because of the non stainless to stainless on my new one. the radius its the same. On guitarsolos i found the sounds/frequensees was more even anywhere on the neck. and it felt much better playing on the 3-4 first frets.. The set up was perfect, and tremolobar was just as i had adjusted it my self.. the string hight was just a hair higher than my current.
alla the guys in my band said it was realy beutiful.. and the best part is that it plays as good as it looks.
