This guitar has a basic "set-up", but you'll want to make a couple of adjustments to suit your particular likes. Any guitar that has been shipped across Country will most likely need a few adjustments.

I have done my best to accurately describe the features and condition of the Guitar. If I missed something, I apologize in advance, but I'm pretty sure I got it all.

Here are some quotes from buyers of my guitars and basses:

haven't been able to put the guitar down. It's wonderful. Smooth feel, solidly built.

The tone of this body is enchanting; even unplugged it has unbelievable sustain with character like a surging crescendo. Truly unique sound.

Thanks for crafting such a great guitar and helping me to choose the right one. Fantastic guitar.

OMG WOW !!! I love it!

Thanks Bill,  more than I can tell you. I love the guitar!!

I literally stare at my guitar when I'm not playing it like a guy with a school boy crush.

I absolutely love the guitar and it is fast becoming my favorite. Love the solid feel, the tone, pickups and the nice weight of the body.

I complement your craftsmanship. Great value for the money too.
