Yes, it's finally here, and it may be one of the most beautiful instruments I've ever laid hands on.
It is also, sadly, quite broken:
When I first pulled it out of the case I didn't even notice it. The guitar is so freaking beautiful that I didn't know anything was wrong until I went to play it, and that's when I felt the crack. Now, I've seen stress fractures in the finish at the nut before, but you can see the wood here. The crack is so severe that with the strings slacked I can widen it by gently pulling on the headstock. It's bad. It's heartbreakingly bad. There was not a mark on the box and the case and rest of the guitar look like they're brand new.
I are sad.
