LOWERING THE PRICE AGAIN: NEED TO SELL so lowering the price. This guitar plays very well. I have done a complete setup including leveling and polishing the frets, resetting the tremolo bridge to correspond with the 15 inch neck radius (15 inch was not an option when setting the specs for this guitar) and buffing all the wood so that it would shine like new. There are very few scratches on the wood of this piece. I installed a new pick guard and upgraded the terrible tuning gears to Wilkinson tuners which work so much better. I also noted that the volume control did not work only to find that the previous owner, although he did upgrade the pots to some extent, did not solder the third peg of the volume control to the back of the pot and once I did this it worked fine. However, I did install a new CTS volume pot before I realized that the wiring was not done correctly, so that too is an upgrade. The intonation is very good, so it plays in tune up and down the neck. I filed down the nut so that the strings were not too deep in their string channels. So basically, a new instrument in a lot of regards. A great buy and looks new. I would think a new player would love this guitar with its excellent action.
