It's on the truck for delivery.

I'm all-a-tingle.

........we'll need pics as proof.....

This thread will be useless without pics.

Blue boy, or greenish blue boy...

What will it be??

Oh this thread will very useful.

It's here.

It's cold here (near Boston), so what's the best policy for getting the the case & instrument acclimated to the indoor temperature?

Let it climatize (is that a word?), to your house enviroment. If its real cold I'd allow 12 to 24 hours.

Bummer huh??

Closed case or do I crack it open a bit (I've heard of both methods).

It's not that cold, btw.

leave it in the case for a while and let the room temp filter through it

I believe that acclimate is the word to use in this context.

So are you just watching the case at the momment? I know I would be.

When I bought my s8 I posted a similar question and Mr. Hall said outside temps in the mid 30's wouldn't pose any issues as far as opening the case in the house. I'd leave it for a few hours if you wish to be VERY cautious.

Nah, I'm dialed into work. It's close by, however.

It was in the 40's here. I'll leave it for a few more hours.

Ok, I couldn't wait.

Under indoor lighting it's hard to tell if it's a true blue color or more greenish. When I take pics, it'll be apparent.

I'll post some pics later.

There's some wood happening here.

walnut?

haha
