This guitar required a full fret dress to eliminate some fret buzz on the lower frets and to get the action down low. Out of the box the guitar had quite high action, around 4mm at the 12th fret.

Very nice guitar to play. If I had to improve the guitar any I would upgrade the stock bridge to something a little more heavy duty such as Gotoh.
