The Good: Received them 5 days after ordering in good shape. Beautiful top and neck. The intonation was almost spot on. The Bad: The nut was cut way too high.. Had to take it to my luthier and he fixed that, adjusted the saddles, and slightly re-intonate ($60). I conditioned the fretboard (which does have some scrape marks on it, but is level) It now plays like a $1K guitar, w/ amazing action and feeling.. The pickups lack detail and low end. Replaced the selector switch (the stock one was flimsy/noisy) with a Switchcraft and put in a set of Tonerider Classic Alnico II Classic pickups and it ROCKS! So the 'mods/fixes' cost $175 making it a less than $500 guitar. It now sounds like a $2000+ guitar and plays so nice. It's crazy for the price. It rivals my PRS Santana III, but with a faster and thinner neck.
