Same here. I love chambered LP styles because they're so light, so if I were to ever have one, it would either be one of these, or an Epi LP Ultra-III.

I be vibing with you gents.

Other than how my right arm feels resting on the body and general left-hand position, this thing is so far removed from anything Lesterish I've played. Granted, I've been trying to take note of what I don't fancy about the thing, but other than cosmetic issues as a roughly used guitar (hehe, my shirt snagged on a one of the backside dents the other day), it's pretty much come down to just the amount of sustain that gets lost in the floating bridge/shallow break angle coming off the B3. Not a biggie by any amount, but very noticeable when I've been ruthlessly banging out chords on Fenders for so long.

Really hope to make good on a proper demo when I'm not as busy as I presently am.

Lovely guitar. The first pic made it look like Pelham blue and I almost had a heart attack.
