So, I got it..
Initial verdict.. I wouldn't have any issues paying original list price on this..
Overall, its pretty good, the shipping method leaves a little to be desired.. strings were really loose and took a little bit to get them stretched out, but it has stayed in tune relatively well, I think they shipped the 6 string neck with 6's or 7's those will have to be changed.
Fret ends are a touch sharp, but my tracking shows it coming from Wisconsin, ill let it adjust to the southern humidity for a little bit, but worse case i will dress the ends, no big deal.
The 12 strings plays very well, chords are sounding pretty good all the way up through the 12th fret, not noticing any bad intonation issues.. yet..
The 6 string side does need a set up, action is pretty good but some fret buzz down low, going to need a couple tweaks but I think its will be pretty good once I do a set up.
The caps for the neck and pick up selector are missing from the packaging.
Only played it plugged in for a couple of minutes and initial impression is good, played it acoustic for a bit, and while it sounded pretty good it didn't ring out like my Gibsons do.
Overall, I would say there are more positives than negatives, and to me its worth the cash, even not on sale or discounted... if you're looking for a double neck.
