The tone controls should be reversed but not the volume controls, Joe. Were your vol controls reversed??

Dunno, I haven't rec'd it yet. It's being shipped today. I'll let you guys know when it gets here.
I have seen photos of it and it's very nice looking though.

I'm happy for you Mojoe...hope you include some photos with your review.

were's your ax comeing from ?

Joe: The Music Zoo. Friendly people, but a bit slow in shipping out my guitar!
They rec'd payment on Monday but didn't ship till Weds. That means it's sitting over the weekend at the Milw. UPS hub. It won't get delivered till Monday. Uggg.
I wonder if I called UPS today they would allow me to pick it up? It's only like 20 minutes away.

Yes I'v done that befor

I've done that too!
I just called the place itself and they told me to be there after a certain hour.

I think it would atleast be worth a try.

I couldn't find the phone #, so I called one of the UPS Stores to get the # of the hub. They're closed on the weekend is what they told me.
This is the longest weekend ever!
Usually the weekends fly by, not this time.

Joe....if the weather's nice, go take a nice long walk and think about other things.....it works for me

Lingering agony...consider calling in sick the next couple days. Once you have that guitar in your hands, you won't want to think about anything else anyway,

Yeah I already feel a cough coming on lol.
Actually I'm self employed, so I declare tommorrow a holiday. And I instructed my wife to keep the driveway clear so the big brown truck can enter. "What can brown do for you?".

Got my c63 today. Very nice. Glossy finish, which was different from another one I saw and held. The one I saw in person looked like it didn't get the final polish.
The neck is way different from a modern 360/12 or v64. The tone controls work "backwards", that'll take some time to get used to.
I must say it's a great guitar. It needed a truss rod and bridge height adjustment, and the intonation is off. As soon as possible the strings are coming off in exchange for Pyramids.
It should intonate better then, and sound better.
It's too schrill sounding to me with the factory strings. It's a 2 thumbs up geetar for sure.

So did it show? Kinda wish now that I had jumped on it myself. Anyway, glad to hear that someone on the Forum grabbed it per my tip. Mine will be be here soon enough. Cheers, and full report is expected. RSG

We need pics, too!

I'll try to get some pics later.
I will have another one soon. I've got one on order from NCM. It will be for sale though.
I'll list it here when it arrives.
