Man oh man oh man does this thing deliver. Straight out of the box the setup was perfect, no string buzz, intonation just almost almost right, very low action, no neck bow or twist, and just a little bit out of tune, but that is expect due to distance it traveled. Anyway, (almost) everything about this guitar is high-quality. The frets are filled to perfection, not a single flaw about the finish and painting, and the tuners, despite being LTD branded, feel very sturdy and of very high-quality, even more than the Gotoh tuners on my japanese Ibanez.
After playing a while, I only had to mess with the G string tuner, every other string was in perfect tune.
The only flaws that I can think of are:
- It is quite neck heavy
- The nut is made of cheap plastic, which is kind of a disappointment, since at this price a GraphTech Tusq nut is expected
- The volume knob is very loose, but that might be just a flaw on my guitar in particular
Good thing these flaws are easily fixed. Besides that, I really have no complaints. This guitar is worth every penny and I highly recommend it.
