OK, I recieved the guitar on 8/14/06, I had worked 12hrs the night befor and had 4 hrs sleep, I was like a kid at Christmas, opened the package and all I can say is INCREDIBLE, took some time to just check out fit, finish and overall construction, I had to look very hard to find any thing wrong and all was minor, wrong strap buttons, after talking to Michael I found allparts had sent a partial strap lock kit and a replacement is on the way, neck pickup pole pieces did not line up with strings, just needed to tweak the pickup legs, (also talked to Michael about this and it has been added to the final check list), and the nut was tight on the B string after using some nut sauce that is fine,
The case left a little to be desired, pretty much a hard gig bag, I have a hard shell case on order (something this nice deservers the best) that is pretty much all I could find wrong, now the good stuff, neck profile, I originally spec the neck to be between a 59 and 60 during the build I asked to have it done to 59 spec I could not be happier it just feels great when you have your hand wrapped around it, neck angle, the bridge and tail piece are on the deck, which tells me it could not get any better, tone and sustain, I really don't think you could get any better, all I can say is incredible (I did supply all electronics and pickups, RS historic wiring and switches and WCR pickups) on a 10/10 scale I would give this an 11, we set our expectations and hopes high but to have the exceeded is not very common,
I want to thank Michael for puttig up with me during the build.
Mr. Sergei Sataev for putting his hart and soul into this guitar, I asked Michael at the begining if Sataev could build a Les Paul, I can now say that I don't think anyone could do better
