GC in west palm beach has a set right now. They aren't set up just piled in the corner but sweet looking. I didn't ask but maybe they are one of those GC "exclusive colors". I really hope not.

Sweet! I cant wait to order one (if I can get the money) when my set gets in...

Yeah let's hope not. I mean just because they have the biggest guitar store in the world in SF i think, what's so good about them that they should have their own colours on EVERYTHING?

Not much is good about them in my opinion. I have got badly ripped off by them in the past
By the way everybody I just received word that now my set is on backorder until May 10th!

Good I'm glad that it is good looking. Without being able to see it in person I was torn between the amber and cherry. I decided on the cherry and it is good to know I made a good choice.

Phew I am glad it looks just as good. I was getting nervous that it wouldnt becuase that amber looks tremendous. Thanks for your input Yamahammer!

Can someone explain to me the PRO's to having the ride stand upside down like this?

Well, in part I suppose, although I saw it as a way to hover my ride lower and flatter more than "Stylin' and Profilin'".
Check out Mike Mangini's set up. I think all of his boom arms are inverted.
