- Action is pretty good surprisingly
- no buzzing/fretting out (at the time did not test high e string frets as it was missing on arrival)
- Restrung with D'Addario .012-.056
- Tuned to D standard as the action is higher with the new strings, it's already had a neck/shoulder repair, and it's better for guitars to be stored long term in a lower tuning.
- There is no adjustable truss rod so short of resetting the neck the action pretty much is what it is.
- Tested and videoed (contact us if you'd like a video).
