Just arrived late today! Heh! She's a beauty, and I'm about to rip these strings off now, so this'll be quick.
I had a similar Prestige S I bought in 2012/13 but hated the V7/V8 pu's (didn't have the soldering gear I have now) wasn't really crazy about the gold hw and really didn't love the brown quilt all that much after the honeymoon wore off. So I traded it a couple years ago for a 7-string that I then traded in a few months.
Needless to say, I missed the playability and how thin and light it was!
These are hard to find, much less of these are made as compared to RG's and AZ's, etc. And when you do find them they often have a so-so top OR someone snatches it up fast. Part of the reason I was going skitzo on Sunday after finding this one available late Saturday night. Just made in Dec. and arrived at the dealer Saturday. Has Tone Zone and Air Norton, and so far, I'm liking them! Definitely happy to have a fixed bridge for once!
Here's a picture with the overhead lights straight down, to really show the top.
One on the wall with basically no light on it
One to show how thin this puppy is
A rather dry fretboard and non-ss frets (surprisingly) that may need a teenie bit o' polishing (but are very well dressed)
And the back side
