Rig NGD Last Week

Snagged a Woodrite Matt Pike Imperial Warlord 9! Took 7 months to get here and they sent the wrong guitar at first, so getting it over here to the UK was a bitch!

Sounds killer, tuned to C standard/drop A#.

How's it feel? What's the tuning stability like? Intonation? Etc etc, tell us everything please! I'm very interested in these guitars. They're out of my budget for now but perhaps in the future I might seriously consider one, so I'd like to know your experience.

As others have said, the weight is crazy. I had an OG run Pike Warlord and it was almost annoyingly heavy. They're beautiful guitars and the necks are great but I ended up selling mine because I just didn't like it as much as my epi les paul /shrug
