I did order it blind and had it shipped to the store, where a good tech did a setup, but he said he didn’t need to adjust much. It was made in October of this year so it was not sitting around for a long time. I love the neck profile which is substantial but it’s really comfortable and the neck joint is contoured and just perfect. It’s a great weight, it plays faster and easier than other single cut brands, and it has a great tone. It’s a very classic singlecut tone, very rich and articulate. If you live near a shop where they actually have one on the wall, and you have been frustrated by the tone and quality of the other big brands who make something similar, I would recommend giving it a play. It’s a great value at the price point for a U.S. made guitar. You can really fly on this one that’s for sure!
