I took delivery of 2014 NS C100-D Capri last week.

I replaced the stock .011-.049 set with .010-.046, adjusted the truss rod, and set the intonation.
Now, all I can say is "Wow!"
What a great-playing, great-sounding guitar!

This may finally be the guitar that makes me a humbucker player.
Great tones in every switch position and at all control settings.
Warm jazz tones. Snarly rockabilly tones. And so much more.
And what a looker! (Yes, I know, I'm gushing.)

Here's a picture from a jam the other night:

Welcome to LTG, and congratulations! Yep, they're very nice. I had one side by side with my '60 Capri, and it's remarkable how much of the feel of that guitar was there in the new one. I've played most if not all of the different NS models, and I'm a bit of a humbucker-hater, but the minibuckers sound pretty good in the new capris, better than in some other NS models, as others on the forum have noticed too.

I'm very pleased with mine. It's got an incredible sound that is versatile and interesting. It's the ES-175 I always wanted, and a while it more.
