It is a pretty sucker, to me.
My early review (keep in mind I'm a novice at playin at playin, but, have preferences even so).
I had their tech lower the action (to 7/64) at the 12th fret- (according to the specs it comes with a bone nut and saddle) he polished the fret board and frets, checked for high frets ( I watched him do these tasks) and put on Martin 10-47, 80/20 strings because I like the lighter gauge- I *may* lower the low E string at the nut-
It feels light- lighter than any of my others- the sound is not what I expected (dark on the low end with some volume), I suppose that's the top wood, (solid spruce is what the specs say),since it has mahogany back and sides- but, it also doesn't sound tinny on the high end, even with the extra light gauge strings, which is a plus in my book-
It may, as I told the guys at GC, take the place on my favorites scale, over my Mitchell mahogany- time will tell- I really like BOTH of my Mitchells, so much so I wish they'd come out with a Parlor Body model, especially all mahogany- PRS and Washburn are expensive to me- but, maybe next year- 
I had to adjust (re tune) it last night after a couple hours playin- it fits me well (physically and aesthetically)
I doubt I'll be giving it back or using their 45 day return policy with it-
Finger board radius numbers are greek to me- all the guitars I have are 1 11/16 nut width though and the Ibanez ALT 30 seems to be the easiest to play. I have slender, short fingers (I'm 5' 6 1/2" and 145 lbs, dressed, on a good day)I can't do Barre chords, at all, and have trouble with the modified F- but, what I lack in skill I make up for with passion
