One of the best shredders around. The only problem is the truss rod. You have to take the neck off to adjust it. The good news is that once it is set for you climate you more than likely won't have to mess with it again thanks to the quartersawn one piece neck. This is as good as my Made In USA SoCal and tons better than my Made in Mexico San Dimas.
Mine arrive filthy as hell. Dust and finger gunk everywhere. It was the second nastiest guitar I have ever bought via the mail. If you see a lot of gunk and staining on the maple fretboard, 90% can be cleaned off with alcohol wipes and and lot of rubbing. Maple is very dense so you don't have to sorry about the alcohol drying the wood out like you would on rosewood
