It came almost in tune, in a very nice gigbag indeed. Good weight, very comfy, fantastic hardware. I could probably have done a concert with them the same day. The neck had some hints of roughness that started to fade after a short period of time.
The microphones will take some getting used to, but they're certainly interesting! I'm getting more and more fond of them. They're very dynamic. Can be a bit too snappy, but that snappiness is great when you need it. Very rich and full sounding, but you just need to spend some time with them (and your gear, the eq...). They're much more responsive than I'm used to, but there are some wonderful clean and breakup sounds there, and the treble bleed is fantastic. The humbucker works well with gain.
