Bought this a couple months ago and while the feel and look of the guitar was fantastic, there were some critical issues. The guitar arrived with super low action, which I feel is normal for a shredder guitar. After I raised the action at the saddles, I wanted to add a little more neck relief to my taste. Turns out it left the factory with a maxed-out truss rod (tight), and any adjustments were stiff while accompanied by a popping/pinging sound. Despite all contact points being lubricated, and nut smooth for string movement, the guitar would just never stay in tune and would always drift flat across all strings. I returned it while I still had a chance. The Duncan Noumenons are fantastic btw, and I'll likely be buying a set for whichever guitar takes the place of this one.
