Well, here it is. I got it across safely and through customs. The best part, it was perfectly in tune when I plugged it in. The worst part, carrying it round the airport for such a long time really hurt my hands.

After a few hours of jamming and practicing I've decided to show you guys the guitar and tell you what I think of it.

The neck took a bit of getting used to, but I've got the hang of it now, except I can't quite get the clean part in The Audience is Listening by Steve Vai right, I always play it on the E by accident. The pick ups are pretty different to what I'm used to, but they sound really good and even though I haven't changed the settings on my amp to suit them yet, I think they are an improvement. I really like the trem. I don't think I'll bother changing the strings to 9s, not for a while anyway, because at the moment th guitar feels pretty good, and I don't want to mess it up.

Now, to the main event, the pictures!

By the way, there's an easier way to upload pictures, right? Because I've got some more.

Thanks guys. Sorry the pictures are so bad, I'm not good with a camera. It probably doesn't help that I haven't slept properly since Saturday. I'll get some new ones up tomorrow, all being well, but I might be called to go to band practice and not have the time.

I'd also like to thank everybody at EBMM for making my perfect guitar.
