This is my 3rd prs. The build quality is perfect. The flight case is nice also. Has a bluebird woven into the fabric on the inside of the case when you open it up. The bew DMH pickups give alot of sustain and bottom end. The other 2 prs guitars I have have always stayed in tune. The necks are just about as str8 as you can get. I live this faded whale stain. Awesome guitar id buy another one of I had the money.
