This was my first time buying a guitar I had not played in person before and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised.
The guitar came with a very tigh neck and fretbuzz. The intonation was perfect luckily and the action was spot on. Low but not too low, although I did end up making it higher on the low end because I put heavier gauge strings. (String action I ended up with and that I really liked is about 1.25mm on high E and about 1.8mm on low E).
I put Elixir 09-46 because I prefer heavier lower strings and they give a nicer low end than standard 09s.
After adjusting the springs and dampening them, I adjusted the neck until the buzzing stopped and it had a proper amount of relief. I adjusted pickup height according to factory specs and plugged it in.
The guitar sounds great, you can hear and feel the differnece between this model and the cheaper Dinkies. The difference is enormous. The access cut for the higher frets is absolutely amazing. Never knew how much I needed it before. Absolute gem of a feature.
It plays absolutely fantastic, Floyd Rose works perfectly even after hours of playing only minimal tuning adjustments are needed.
The only thing I would like is a bigger neck, something like a Telecaster C shape. With that said, even though this is a slim neck, it is still comfortable for me to play.
In conclusion, this is a great guitar but it is going to need some love and setup right out of the box.
