Woah!! Blown away by this guitar! 
Some of you know that I contacted GC's "online platinum" wienies - as I'd been waiting for this new green "Kokiri Forest" JR to show up at the Atlanta store. They usually get all the new EBMM's, lickety split. Well, not this time. Platinum peeps said they didn't expect these to ever go out to stores. Ok, sure
. They gave me pics of two I could choose from. I picked one and they sent the other one. 
Regardless, this baby showed up today and the top is more betterer than I could've imagined! In person it's mind bogglingly gorgeous! I believe it was @TSJMajesty and @ᛗᛜᛜᚺDᛜᎶ Ꮤᛨᚳᚴ (who's name is really hard to mention with the @
) that thought it was a one piece top, which I thought was nigh impossible on a regular production EBMM sent to a GC. I can't find a seam so I agree with them. Crazy top, and getting a one piece is amazing!
Typical EBMM, I've had nothing but perfection from the four I've had. Can't say enough good about the brand and their support, if you ever need it.
Gave it a quick setup, had a lot of relief, high action and a wee back-tilt on the trem. Typical for any brand that's come into my house. Getting some buzz on the A string, frets are 100% level - so I'm perplexed, may just be acclimating yet.
Fret ends are primo, perfect fretwork - no doubt! No nut pinging when tuning.
Haven't had a lot of time to play it but the neck is pretty thin and easy for me to adjust to. Pickups are uncovered EBMM HT, supposedly customized for this Jason Richardson model. Need to do some back to back with my Sabre (covered HT pickups)! Initial impression would be moderately high output (not overly high) and great clarity. I'm sure I'm going to love the pickups.
This top is trippy, can only imagine what it would look like stoned! In person you can really make out the wood textures, which are all over the place and unique. Kind of like a field of weed blowing in the wind?
Some subtle figuring on the board
Back has some texture but really hard to photograph
And the important part, my four balls!

And I was worried, the whole way up until I had the case open! GC gonna do whatever they can to fuck things up - but in the end, they did me right.
