This is one of my first posts in awhile. Hello! 
Not quite an NGD since I've had Drifter for a few weeks now. Anyways, this is the best guitar I have ever played let alone owned!
Playability: The neck on the lower frets has a sort of trapezoidal profile, like Watty stated in his review on the Express model he had. This makes the fretboard flat and wide so that it's easier to hold barre chords. As the neck goes up to the higher frets, the profile becomes more wizard-like and more shred-friendly. Reminiscent of the feel on my RGA121, but fine tuned and so much more comfortable (I'm talking about the higher frets, remember). The action can be incredibly low, if that is what you desire (I do
). All of the hardest licks I could just barely play before now come with ease.
Sound: Acoustically, Drifter is very loud for such a thin guitar. Everything is still settling as it is a new guitar, but was very well intonated ever since it arrived at my house. No complaints on staying in tune. The pups are a set of Diablos; Brett, the luthier at Guitar Logistics, makes these pick ups himself. The bridge pup has a lot of attack, similar to the Aftermath I had in my RGA. I prefer the Diablo to the Aftermath... It has clarity, but it's also a bit hotter than the Aftermath and makes playing leads sound better (to my ears). I'm not using the neck pick up too much unless I'm on the clean channel, but it satisfies all my needs here! Fluid, clear and, warm.
Specs:
Top: Figured Northern Ash
Body : Peruvian Walnut
Neck : Sipo
Fretboard : Macassar Ebony
Scale : 25.5" 24-fret 16" Radius 1.75" Nut
Trussrod : ALLPARTS Double Action
Tuners : Hipshot Grip-Lock
Pickups : Diablo Humbuckers
Bridge : Hipshot
Electronics : Vol/3-way
Finish: Behlens Teak Oil with Polyurethane topcoat
On top of being an awesome guitar and quite affordable compared to other guitars of this quality, Brett is a good dude; he's honest, open to any questions, and very helpful. And thanks, Watty. 
I suck at taking photos, but here's some homemade porn:
Weird lighting on this one
