So here are the guitar pictures from Reverb.
Quick review...
Build quality was pretty good with the exception of the fret ends. I'm not sure if the guitar was stored in low humidity or the heat from the shipping trip caused the fredboard to shrink but they were razor blades! I spent quite some time filing them down.
Other than that the fit and finish was great.
Playability is darn good I say darn good because I've played higher end Kiesel 8's and had a .strandberg as well as other legators and this one plays well but isn't at that level. Just using it as a comparison.
Now, where this guitar falls short is the pickups. OMG they suck! Very low output, super noisy and just flat out trash. I'm not going to record with it at all until I swap them out.
Acoustically, the guitar has a nice tone, almost sounds chambered, but yeah, the pickups - legator completely took the piss on that one.
