I ordered it new from Stu @Fat Sound. Stu treated me great and is a true professional, thanks Stu.
Got this about two weeks ago, just got back from vacation and spent a bunch of time playing her. What can I say, it's gorgeous and plays like butter. This is the first trem guit I've bought in a while and Stu was right about the tuning stability even with heavy use. Definitely 95% PLUS, and when she goes out only a minor tweak to get it back. The color is amazing, the frets are fantastic, neck, feel. Sounds great clean or crunchin -- Some pics but they don't do it justice. I already got some light pick scratches on the guard due to hours of playing yesterday:

Awesome looking guitar. LOVE the color! Congrats. I've longed to try one of those Grosh EJ's. They sort of remind me of a more upscale EBMM Albert Lee, which I think is another fantastic guitar.

omg pretty...
but again there's a small builders forum for this ;)
we gotta keep them seperated.
this guitar is definitely on my list of guitars to get. Is this a custom or a standard?

Absolutely stunning. If I didn't have an Elliott Tonemaster PS, I would go for one of these.
I picked up 3 other Grosh's used off here and ebay, and all my Fenders went up for sale!

Awesome guitar. I play my Grosh EJ Custom all the time. It's hard to set it down once you get going.

That's a real beauty; much prettier than mine. I can't keep mine out of my hands; it is just such a great guitar. Very versatile too. BTW, what is that color called? I can't quite tell from the pics. Is it candy apple red?
For those of you jonesin' for one, I played a real good used one on consignment (not mine) at Mass St. Music - Mary Kay sort of look and Fralins - very sweet.

That is a fantastic guitar - Much Congratulations on your purchase.
I so very nearly bought a metallic copper EJ with P90's earlier in the year, but ended up getting a metallic Black/Gold EJ with humbuckers. The config you have go here is still high on my 'want' list though, as I still haven't got a P90 guitar, but this one seems to be the one I will go for!
These guitars look and sound fantastic, but I think the most under rated aspect of the Electrajets is how comfortable they are to play. This is the only guitar in my collection that I can have on a strap for hours and not feel tired after playing. My hands seem to fall into the right positions, string bends are silky smooth, everything is perfectly balanced. There is definitely a lot of magic in these guitars.
Congrats again... :aok

When I saw the Metallic Orange color I had to have it,....I just think it's gorgeous.
U are right about the playability,...so smooth and comfy. The guitar is so well made,....incredible.

Bumping this to thank the few that talked me outta selling this beauty. I've been spending a lot of time with her and the bond is growing. Just a great instrument.

You thinking of selling?? man, let me know so I can (a) slap you upside the head for even thinking of doing something so silly, then (b) buy it off you! :)
