A couple of pictures of the Angelus HGS I picked up off jahosy recently.

Haven't put up a NGD yet, but I'll try to get to that this weekend.
I must admit that I did not exactly fall in love with this guitar when I got it. It is acoustically very loud and the fit and finish are very nice, but something didn't quite click for me.
I eventually realised it is the neck shape. I had fairly assumed that the neck profile would be close enough to a Les Paul to make the transition easy. The neck does feel as if it is significantly rounder than my 60's profile Les Paul.
I have now begun to adapt to it after some more play time, but it doesn't feel as natural to play as I was hoping...
Honestly thinking about trading or selling it on.

Very beautiful one though. I would have probably snagged it off of ya if it was still in Aus. It's funny, I saw that thing in Japan when I was there this summer, in Aus when I moved back. Is it a sign I'm supposed to come to Germany?
Happened to me as well. Thought i would adapt to the Angelus, but was wrong. Main issues for me were the weight, and neck profile.
Otherwise its a beautiful instrument.
Hope you'll get around liking it!

Yes. I think it is a clear sign.
Hi man. The weight doesn't trouble me as I have been playing a LP for a while now. The neck profile still feels a bit strange, but I am definitely adapting to it.
Honestly not sure how long I should hold out trying to adapt to it. I'm in no hurry to be rid of it, but at the same time I'm interested to see what trade offers I would get for it.
I am currently in love with my LP and that is making it hard for this one to get play time!

Nah, I really need to calm down. I need some non-metal guitars really badly! Not for lack of want though. I want all the Soilwork customs.

Sorry for confusing Old/New title - HGS is not brand-new - got it from Caparison forum.
Sold the Snow Cloud couple of years ago to fund My first 7-string - now I'm Back !
