Man I am REALLY tired so just a quick update, but it arrived today, and here we go - the step by step.
Step one: you open the Box.
Step two: you get that junk out of the box.
Step three: you open the case to see the awesome packing job Action Music did!
It arrived safe and sound - how could it not, with packing like that? I mean, even the fretboard was protected, that's dedication. Anyhow, it was perfectly tuned down exactly a step, so I stepped it back up to standard, and gave it a long run through. I isolated an odd plasticky overtone that was happening at certain frequencies - it was the LR Baggs soundhole control! Luckily you can pop that plug right off and it's reversible so I unplugged that and took it off the soundhole for use later if I go live or plugged or whatever. Nasty overtones gone, all that remained was gorgeous spruce and rosewood ringing away!
I'll take some nice shots outside tomorrow but for now here's a vidclip of me very tired playing it, and my dog in the middle getting tired of my playing so she throws her ball at me, and there you go.

Hans, I guess this one's an early one because though the model number is F30R-NT, the serial number does indeed start with GF30, haha. And yep it's to GF50 specs, which is closer to Clapton than Simon.
So here you go: I was thinking this, Paul Simon's F30 Special -
So I got this:

Beautiful Jahn. Those don't come up often, and that one looks particularly nice. Looks like a keeper. Congrats. :wink:
