There's a picture of the white and violet ones now. Pretty happy with how the white turned out:

Following this. Did anyone or did anyone explicitly NOT receive their guitar?

First batch of 10 isn't shipped yet. A lot are being worked on. They recently did frets on some but are waiting on fretwire for some others currently. Everything seems to be progressing quite nicely so far. I'm rather impressed on top of how impressed I was when I got my Valkyrie.

These or Agile is the question for me. Anyone see the new Legacy purple?

Seems like the GOC has better components than the Legacy, but that legacy looks sooo goooooood

Go for a GOC. I had a Legacy and sold it. Was definitely not up to the same level of quality although it was much cheaper.
The basic level Septors are better than the Legacy series but the Pro and Elite variants blow those away for about $600-$700.

My GOC Valkyrie vs my Agile Septor Elite/Pro/whatever-it-is. I'd say the GOC edges out a bit. I like the thinner neck on the Elite and Pro Agiles though.

Wait the GOC has a thicker neck than the Agiles? Damn that must be a pretty thick neck considering the Agile is like a medium thickness, to me at least.

Which Agile models are you talking about because it's basically the same as the base Septor model's neck thickness.
You know I hate thick necks. This isn't that bad. They still need to go thinner though imo. I figure it's a 21mm probably. I want a 20mm at least.

Well if I'm not mistaken, the thinnest Agile neck is 21.5mm to 22mm with some of the other models being 22mm to 24mm. I'm the same as you when it comes to neck thickness. I think the thickest I'll go is 21mm.

I'm glad I've got something new to run into the ground now I've used up my lifetime quota of Kirk Hammett wah pedal jokes.

Won't ever get tired of "it tessellates the human thumb" though.

That sounds about right. Neither the base Agile models nor the GOC that I have right now are thin. I don't know what they're doing exactly on this Materia run but I voiced my preference in an email to Pan when he asked what I thought about the guitar. Given they do custom shop stuff, I bet I could just have them make something with a thinner profile. Maybe the next run they do that can be part of the specs if this one isn't thin enough.
