How patient are you when you bring new gear home?

With acoustic guitars its best to let them acclimate to the new environment especially when they are shipped.

I don't freaking care when I've got that new stuff in the door. I want to use it now. Especially guitars. Nothing is sacred not the box it came in nor the bubble wrap padding.

Today is NGD and it's not arriving for another four hours at least. I'm not playing any of my other guitars leading up to the moment because I want to devote the rest of the day to playing the new guitar. Even I have days where I don't want to play guitar for 12 hours straight and I don't want to take away my guitar playing drive by playing one now.

Congrats! Please post a picture while you wait for it to adjust.

For my acoustics I switched to carbon fiber. No need to worry anymore about temperature and humidity.

A carbon fiber guitar can be played immediately out of the box. And if it was properly tuned by the sender it will be still in tune even.

The image of the back doesn't capture the grain of the mahogany back but it's there.

Also it's actually flawless some specs may have collected on my lens while shooting.

I have to say this.
If aio can import a guitar from Korea. Properly level crown and polish the frets have no sharp tangs roll the fretboard and provide quality hardware why can't Fender or Gibson? It was slightly over $500USD including shipping.

This thing arrived from SoCal to southeast Michigan which is roughly 2400 miles away in tune and ready to play. No neck adjustment, fresh strings all the parts properly tightened to the right tension.

The model (which apparently I misrepresented)
KLP 45 FM

So a couple of hours later...

It sounds closer to my 70's (all mahogany) LP custom than LP standards that I've owned, Even though it has a real maple top. it doesn't sound like a PRS by any measure.

I've achieved the trifecta.
