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

No not yet, I'm to get in touch with the guy today. They've just moved shops and are going through a bit of adjustment.
*edit*
They have a big backlog in the setup workshop, I'm happy waiting for the guitar when it's fully setup and ready to play.

First impressions neck is comfortable to me, gloss paint but not sticky, nut seems perfect, tuners do what they're supposed to, frets are all ok. The guitar is light, I can't weigh it to give you an actual number, but it's easily the lightest electric I've ever played, pickups sound nice through my PC set up, very clear and articulate, bridge seems like a very good design to me, a wrap around with adjustable saddles.
Will have a go on an amp tomorrow, standing with a strap on the guitar.

What's go go blue like MartinB? I'm really pleased you finally got it 👍

I'd say the colour is probably the worst feature, it reminds me of a childhood toy, or a toothpaste colour.

It looks OK in the photos MartinB but blue is not my favourite colour. With blue & green it seems like there are so many shades, which can make finding one you like difficult. Hopefully the colour grows on you. 😉

I should be alright with it, I didn't buy it for the looks and I'm pleased with the sound and feel of it so far.

That's the main thing MartinB. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it once you get familiar with it. I do like the look of danelectros. I see they do a model with what looks like a lipstick humbucker?

I think that one of the current line up has a lipstick humbucker in the bridge, there are also older models that had lipstick humbuckers. I do like the shape of it, just not so much the colour, but it's cheerful in a way

I like the shape as well 👍 it's not a bad blue I had a Ford Sierra years ago that was what we dubbed invalid blue! You know that horrible shade of blue early invalid car/trike things were.
I'll be interested to know how it performs and your likes or dislikes as you get to know it.
