Hey guys,

yesterday's been a holiday over here in Germany and I am lucky to have the rest of the week off to enjoy my new arrival...it's just been delivered and I'm about to get the plastic wrap off the pickguard...my hands are still shaking as I type :)

I'm gonna take it for a quick test drive before I take some pics so please be patient with me but it's love at first sight...!

Sexy! Is there some interesting figuring on the back or is that just something that happened in the picture?

That is amazing!!! Best looking PDN to date! But then again I am always partial to the Y2D. But seriously, that top and the color, with the mahog body and roasted neck. I wish I could get one of these!!!

Those inlays are beautiful as well! How does she sound compared to the standard Y2D? Can you give us a review/comparison?

Thanks guys! I spent the whole afternoon playing the Y2D, what a fantastic guitar! It was set up to perfection and still almost perfectly in tune out of the box. Well worth every minute of a six-month wait :)

If mine is 50% as good looking as yours, I´m in heaven baby!

You will be in heaven my friend, all the PDN's so far look fabulous and without any doubt yours will too!

Sexy! Is there some interesting figuring on the back or is that just something that happened in the picture?

There is quite a bit of figuring going on in the mahogany, I'll post another picture later.

:eek:

That is GORGEOUS!!!

I've said it once, I'll say it again - these PDNs are possibly the nicest guitars MM ever made.

Happy long weekend, my friend!

Thanks Kev, I share your opinion on the PDN run...EBMM really have knocked it out of the ballpark! It's one of the nicest guitars I've ever owned and Honeyburst has to be my favourite EBMM colour!

I'm really happy with the top, it sits right between flame and quilt, the bookmatch is absolutely perfect...the roasted neck is a tad darker than it appears in the pic and looks lovely!

Compared to my purple sunset Y2D the sound is a little softer to my ears...it doesn't lack bite but it seems to have a warmer quality to it...I would attribute that to the mahogany body but haven't really noticed a dramatic difference in tone. The feel on the other hand is different, the PDN is lighter and the pau ferro fretboard feels smoother. Maybe I'll have a more elaborate answer for you when some time has passed...

Thanks Joe! Remember the conversation we had about the roasted sugar Morse back around Easter...ordered mine from Coda Music, great guys to work with (Cheers Doug :)!)

Fingers crossed yours will arrive soon too...can't wait for the pics!

Yeah ... that is the coolest Y2D I've ever seen. I'm floored.

Thanks Jason...I must say it looks great next to the honeyburst BFR Rosewood AL...;)

Excellent!! That second picture looks so good! Short tone review?

Please see my previous post for a short review...I can guarantee you'll be blown away by yours!
