Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | Well #59 is now HOME! What a beaut! 
First observations:
Beautiful 'nutmeg'(?) finish
Unique TRC with the inlay
More boom than I was expecting
Very light weight
Only one slight ding
No cashews 
The action is a touch high for me near the body. But I'll let her sit for a day or two before re-evaluating.
...more foam peanuts than Jimmy & Billy Carter. I've always hated unpacking 'em. But I had a 'brain drizzle' and used the wet/dry vac to remove 'em; the only way to go! 
Miles, thanx for offering a classic!  |

If you take the guitar out bottom first, they all just stay in the box. I do it all the time.
I still don't get the "cashew" reference.. are they the know Llama ? |

I'll post some pics after I give her the 'Iffy Beauty Treatment' which includes 'jewelry' removal/polish and a full body, neck and head 'cleansing massage' with Chanel No. 65.
Then I'll have to wait for an overcast day to compete with our Northern photog members... |

BTW, not sure what's showing up on the bottom of the first pic, but that area looks the same as the label pic.
