End of last week I finally received the Christmas present that my girlfriend had got me and boy it was worth the wait.

                      

It was supposed to be a Christmas surprise but due to Andertons not receiving the shipment from their supliers it was pushed back several times. I had mentioned I really liked the look of these when they had intially came and it was an amazing suprise when she told me she'd got me one!

                      

 

I'm sure its not to everyone's but i love it and it plays and feels amazing. The smell of the neck wood is really good and I find my self sniffing it every so often which is mildly worrying. The amount of tone options from the five positions is really diverse, it hold tune well and its nice and light to boot.

The nut did need a bit of tidying up as it had some rough edges and there was a buzzing from the B string as one of the grub screws on the saddle wasn't positioned properly. I don't think Andertons makes an attempt at any sort of setup regardless of what Lee may claim on his videos.

That's awesome in a cheesy over the top yet somehow still relatively subtle considering it's pink sort of way.

What's the crack with the neck wood?  It's a lovely coloured wood, what is it?

It's a "caramelized maple" neck which means it's been baked so the moistures been taken out of it according to what I've heard.

The neck is lovely, Matt finish which is my preference with rolled edges and jumbo frets which I've not had before.

There nothin' wrong with sniffing guitars! You can enjoy the way they feel, look, sound AND smell - it's all legal.

Great taste in girlfriends too!

Lovely! I bought a Charvel just before Xmas, the neck is wonderful.

As everyone else is saying, it looks great in pink too

terada

A real beauty! I love Charvels. What a great GF to get such a wonderful pressie.

The guitar looks great, pink guitars are the business and this one has class.

But the real question is (and maybe the pink guitar is bringing out my feminine side): what is going on with your carpet? The weave is so thick, it makes the guitar look diddy...

I think as superstrats go, these look really cool and they're not too expensive either.  How big is the neck?  Pretty slimline I assume...

Yeah it feels nice in the hand I've not experienced enough guitars to have a calibrated hand where I can feel too much of a difference tbh but it feels similar to my squier tele width wide but nice and flat due to the compound radius.

Pale (shell) pink really works with that gorgeous fretboard.

Congrats on guitar and girlfriend.
