This 'beast' is a wee bit bigger than I anticipated. I saw him at a LFS and was instantly intrugied and wanted him. Measures 11.5" easily, but am a little nervous tryin to get him out to measure him accurately. When he held still though I could measure him at 11.5" though. Sweet action! And he still has a ways to grow. Got it for a good price too, so hopefully he will be worth it.
