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!

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		I meant to tell ya the trick with Peanuts....

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.
