Sorry @bsman, but I just had to pull the trigger and scratch that GAS itch!

Too dark for me to take good pics, so here are the ones from the seller:

It's an Eastman T486B. The finish is a bit darker in natural light, but boy is it beautiful. The only wear is some super light pick scraping on the pick guard... it's that clean. Found it on TGP and turned out the guy was local, so I was able to save some cash too.

The Phat Cat is a nice pickup.
(Word on the street is they sound even better with A5 magnets)

The Deluxe Laminate forests of Africa produce the trees with the best tone, but they've been ravaged by evil penguin hordes. Asia deluxe laminate is more readily available, but the tone is not as toney.

Seriously though, that's a sweet guitar. Since I'm hearing it in my head, I expect you to play Freddie King's Hideaway on it as soon as you pull it out of the case. I'm sure we would all love to hear a recording thereof as well.
