    Poor build quality. Finish was missing around neck and there were a couple glue spots. The knob was wobbly and obviously not installed properly. Cyan blue did not look like the photos. Looked more washed out. Still nice but definitely different from photos.

    I had an 80s stealth and a mid 90s bich. This is a solid guitar. Playable out of the box. I did swap to 10s, intonation. My only issues are the kill switch is just ok and the body not being contoured for the picking forearm. Beautiful guitar. I even like the abalone. This guitar outshines and outplays my premium Ibby. The neck is very comfortable. You can really the difference in quality vs other guitars in its price range. I'm still getting used to the Fishman pups but they sound very balanced and articulate. I was worried about these comeback guitars but I'm very happy with what I got. I know the tops vary in pattern but again, I'm happy with what I got. It's a bit smaller than I expected. The shape is brutal. A case would have been nice. Im using a standard strat style case. I took a chance ordering it from GC blindly. No issues. It really was playable right out of the box.
