One can't judge and instrument without playing/hearing it but it looks nice.

Looks great...and 12 strings just have something about them I love. Sound so cool, but a little hard to get used to at first. Enjoy it, hopefully I'll see a new one under the tree this year if not then off to the music store, because I'm not leaving the holidays without a new guitar

Just pick it up! I listened to music for years going "Ah I wish I could play oh well" and then one day I picked up my flatmate's guitar and he showed me some basic stuff. From then on we used to just sit and smoke and jam, and since I've been playing (only a year!) I've improved so much. I was bewildered, thinking it probably too late to start at 20. How silly I was.

So no excuses, man. Instead of buying a big bag of ganj buy a small bag of ganj and pick up a cheap steel string acoustic.

Alright? You with me?

Well I was playing simple songs pretty soon, a couple of hours. The likes of 'I Like Birds' by The Eels, and a simplified 'Back In Black' by ACDC (both only use EDA). Within a week or so I was grappling against stuff that was a lot tougher, but it took me a while longer before I was confident enough to play

But thats not whats important, whats important is you have the chance to be able to play songs that you've always loved. The first proper song I attempted was Down By The River by Neil Young. I've loved that song for years, and you jsut cannot describe the feeling of playing the riff of one of you're favourite songs spot on for the first time. (Deserves to be in the orgasm thread)

Oh and, I updated my first post with more pictures

Alverez kicks ass.

Dig the no inlay dots... I always like fretboards with either no inlay (aside from the usual 12th fret), or a whole lot of it.

Its off on purpose

The G octave string was pissing me the hell off! It has made the tone a lot nicer overall, not quite so bright, and its a lot more comfortable playing without having the highest string bang in the middle of your fretboard.
