One thing I've discovered is that these guitars are quite long. My GSM-1 only just fits into a standard length guitar case (100cm long internally), and that's with it touching both ends. My GSJ-1 is even longer by about 2cm and I've had to buy an extra long case for it (which costs more). So it's worth measuring the length of the guitar (don't forget to add on 1cm for a strap button). Whilst you are at this stage, if it's just over 100cm, you may feel like cutting down the length of the headstock slightly to help it fit in a normal case. It doesn't help that the headstock between the nut and the first tuner hole is about 1cm longer than on a real G-style headstock, which moves the main bulk of the headstock out further (and the likelihood of it being neck heavy).
