Yep, it came, and it's great. Here is a link to photos:

I'd say more, but I think I gotta go play it some more. An hour and a half today was just not enough!  ;D

She plays extremely easy. Such a comfy guitar! I almost want to cuddle up with her....like a favorite pillow.  ;) :-* And that's right out of the box. No adjustments needed. No setup. Barre chords no problem, even at the first fret. Medium strings aren't an issue at all, even tho all my other guitars sport light strings. Great gig bag too, which is nice becuz I work at a university and my lessons are with an adjunct whose office is a ways from mine; this gig bag will make the trek a snap.

I'm a happy camper.

glad you like it Ella. you'll have to post some more pics in a few weeks if your top starts getting "stripey".... that'll make the rest of us really jealous.
 yeah, medium strings make no difference to me either. I don't notice them. even on my larger GS guitars.

That looks awesome. Glad it was all set up for you out of the box. I really can't get enough of mine and it seems to sound better every time I play it, as yours will too. Enjoy

I love mine too!  I wanted a maple guitar but always fall under the Koa spell when I go to buy.  The HVGSM fit the bill perfectly!
