but you're a søring:fawk: your dialect does sound flat, although the Lillehammer or Gudbrandsdalen isn't too bad compared to Oslo. Try looking to the west and north and you'll have a more "singing" quality to it (a swede described it as singing to me once).
I didn't find it hard at all, my daily player is a 26.5" schecter. But I've also played bass for the last 7-8 years so that might have something to do with it.
sorry, had to return the camera, but you can have crappy iphone pics...
The hs isn't too bad, it kinda compliments the hugeness of the rest of the guitar :D and there's not any neck dive on it, I thought it might be but no.
