There is a lot of information about this model guitar on the web, and I'll bet you already know those details - so I won't waste your time rehashing the readily available.  Instead, let me tell you about THIS guitar.First, I chose Olympic White over any other color because I personally feel that the BLACKIE model deviates too much from the original Blackie to constitute that title.  Of the other colors available, Olympic White is just so pure and unpretentious.  The neck on this guitar is awesome!  I would hardly describe it as a V neck... although a very soft V is prevalent at the beginning of the neck till about the 5th fret, then it softens even more to almost a full C shape.  Fender Custom Shop has a neck profile they call the 10/56.  I think this neck profile more emulates that than a complete V.  The fretboard edges feel rolled.  The fret ends are smooth and not sharp.  The frets are level - all the way up the neck there is no fretting out.  The quality and feel of the neck are unsurpassed.  You'd be hard-pressed to find a better production neck, and in my opinion, it is on par with Fender Custom Shop necks.  The most important feature of any great guitar is its neck.  This is a great guitar. I think if Fender would have tinted this neck, the subtle flame would be more pronounced.The controls are very useful.  The volume knob is critical in this application.  When you have it dimed, it presents natural drive - which can be tempered with the boost and tone knobs.  No need for a humbucker when that tone can be dialed in.The guitar is 4 model years old.  It has some indentions here and there, and a couple chips and swirls.  You can see that I had to use light reflection to capture some of the indents.  The guitar had an 11-hole pickguard installed at some time in its life.  Overall, the guitar is in excellent condition.The G&G tweed case is in good condition.  It has some storage scuffs and indications of placing and retrieving from staging areas before loading for a gig.  Structurally, it's perfect.  As with all G&G cases, it does its job perfectly.
