and I'm over the moon with it
I've had my eye on this for about 6 months now since it was released as a limited edition in Japan
it finally made its way into the Uk in limited numbers a few months back
the first time I tried to buy it the shop had sold them all within days of getting them
but I tracked one down last week and had them hold it for my and I picked it up today
Inital impressions are I'm going to love this guitar, I didn't bother test playing it as I already have two other models
from the same series and plan on two more in the future
Action is a little high but I'll solve that easily by dropping the string guage down from the current 12 - 54's D'Addario's
to my normal 10 - 46 Elixir Nanoweb electrics, yes electric strings work great on acoustic guitars
Esp light guage, I learned this from Dave gilmour who uses ernie ball slinkys on his acoustic's
anyway I doubt I'll need to touch the bridge and the neck is perfect
as I havn't played for over 10 days I decided to leave the D'addario's for now to get my fingers toughened up
and get my hand used to a slightly wider neck than my other acoustic I normally play
but so far I'm having fun with it, fluffing a few notes as I find my way around the fretboard
but getting there pity I need to get back to work
but at least I can look forward to a couple of nights and then a good weekend getting used to playing it
anyway here she is (all my guitars are female, the need a tender touch and treated with love and respect)
the Ibanez EW 35 QME TBC
