Just had DHL deliver something to my doorstep!
(Camphone) photo love story:
Such a huge box, but for a reason...
Two (!) RG827 Premiums waiting for me and the other guitarist in my band...
Here we go!
It's hard to capture, but the top (veneer) looks amazing and has a beautiful figure!
Rounded fretends... nice touch!
Headstock binding.
While the neck has a satin finish, the headstock comes with a clearcoat. Hard to capture, but I guess this works.
The twins...
Mine with its big Prestige brother.
First impressions:
The guitar comes in a semi-hardcase. It seems solid enough for occasional weekend gigs and storage, but I'm not sure if it would last long on tour. Propably not.
The craftmanship on those is very good for the price. I don't think they are up on par with Prestige level Ibbys, but they are getting close and have a few fancy touches, like the body-, neck- and headstock-binding, the clearcoated back of the headstock, the rounded fret ends. Things that hopefully leave a lasting impression on the Prestige series as well.
I can't comment on the tone yet. The action is awful and I'm waiting for a DiMarzio Evolution 7 I scored on eBay the other day. As soon as it's back with a proper setup and the new pup, I will post soundclips.
Enjoy!![Headbang :hbang: :hbang:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hbang2.gif)
