Out of the box the set up was dreadful. Ridiculously high action, cheese wire strings. Really annoying buzzing and rattling when even barely strummed. Had a set up done at not a small cost. Wiring inside was a mess, hence the buzzing and rattling. Had the fretboard oiled and polished. Action lowered. It's improved but it's not a brilliant guitar. Will likely sell it further down the line.
