WOO HOO! So how do you like it so far, pretty freakin amazing I would reckon!!!

Well, aesthetically, it's all I hoped it would be. It's much nicer looking, I think, than Pete's pictures, which is something that he warned me about. Below are some of pics. I'll try to take better pics either tomorrow or after I get back into town next week.
So far, I think it's a great guitar. I definitely want an amp with a better clean sound to really do the guitar any justice. My F-30 just doesn't give me the high end (Maybe it's a headroom issue? Maybe, the amp is just too dark. Who knows?) to exploit the full range of sound that the guitar is able to put out. I have that same problem when it comes to my 20th. Well, someday, I'll get a new amp. Who knows? Maybe, I just need to monkey around with the amp settings. We'll see.

Yeah the AL's just dont great through Mesa's, and yeah Ive tried them all. Spud swears by his F30 though. Through a really nice clean amp it just comes to life, especially a 6V6/6L6 amp.

Yeah. I was just thinking that a 6L6 or 6V6-based amp would be perfect.
I think Spud has an F-50, which, I believe, has two 6L6s. So, if I'm correct, he's got the right amp for it...well...the right tubes anyway.
I've monkeyed with the EQ a little. It sounds better. It's a little too late to turn it up to really hear what my changes have done. I don't think I'm going to get the guitar to sound the way I want it to through that amp, though.
I totally want to hear the guitar through a Stang Ray too. Even though it's an EL-84 based amp, I think it's probably voiced better for the AL.
Maybe, I should try a Carvin Vintage 16.

Rob,
I'm glad it arrived safely! Pacific Blue Burst on an AL is a fantastic combination. Enjoy her, and thank you!
