I received my guitar relatively quickly and the box was in a good condition. Inside was the box containing the guitar, everything well packaged by the factory. The guitar is setup well right out of the box, but I always replace the ex-factory strings, no matter what. There are no obvious flaws and the binding is gorgeous, as is the whole Guitar! Fretwork is also more than okay, no issues there. It will need to acclimate to my surroundings, then I will adjust the truss rod slightly - which is also normal - there’s an hex wrench delivered. And I’m loving the Bigsby! But I will eventually upgrade to TV Jones’ pickups and his wiring harness for hollow-body guitars, but that was the intent from the beginning. Would I buy this guitar again? Yes!
