Thanks Ron - sound advice. Turns out I was able to wait a mere 2 hours before finally caving in...the guitar was pretty much at room temperature and, remarkably, perfectly in tune. It plays superbly, with good string spacing (thanks to the replacement nut) and nice low action. No fret buzz that I've found so far. Haven't had a chance to plug it in yet but will have some time this weekend to go nuts.
The azureglo finish is gorgeous! Only a few blemishes and very, very minor ones at that. Pics soon
