After many months of deciding between the SC 550 II and CST-24 style guitars, I finally chose the CST-24T Emerald Flame. Received it yesterday after a good wait for it to ship, and UPS dropping off one package and a neighbor's package instead of my Thomann package. (I had to wade through UPS automated "service" twice before I spoke to an actual person. They called the driver, and he came over, again, shortly thereafter. It is beautiful, and light, wasn't expecting that. Only weighs 6.8lbs. That got me really excited. I am planning on changing tuners, and pickups, as the higher output and a bit darker sound isn't my thing, but I have to say, it sounds really good out of the box. A couple of very small black smudges on the back (could even be the wood) is all I could find. Frets are great, a slight lowering of action and a tweak to the intonation is all I'm planning there. Loving it so far!

Hmm, do I have to do something else to include images? I got a link from OneDrive, doesn't seem to be showing?

Image sites (like Imgbb.com, Postimage.org etc) work fine as the links are direct to the image. The Onedrive links appear to get redirected through several pages before you get to the image and I think that's stopping them from showing here. But looking at the images direct on the Onedrive page, that's a very nice looking guitar you have there!

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

Thanks advb for posting the links. When I clicked on ericemn 's broken link icon things they went nowhere so having the links to the pics helped totally. Not sure how you found the pics in the first place?! Like most things DefJef it's relatively easy when you work out how. If you click on the "quote" button to create a draft reply, you can then click on the BBCode button in the draft to see the underlying code. Look for the part that begins "src=" which is the link to the image (or on the images that didn't display, the link to the page rather than the image).

Am I seeing a Boss Katana there ericemn ? True enough, 50 MKII. I like it, but it mostly sits in my room. I play at church, but I go from my Zoom G6 through a direct box to the board.

Not sure how you found the pics in the first place?! It also appears to work if you "right click" on the original image icons and select open image in a new tab...

Not on a broken icon in a comment nor if I take advb's advice and try to quote the comment and right click on the icons from there either. There's just no 'open image in new tab' option. That BB code tab's the only solution for me.
