Great guitar, however....

I purchased online at the Guitar Center website. Was shipped and delivered as promised. No damage to box or guitar. However, when you look on the back, there is an overspray haze under the final clear coat spray. Surprised to see that. The sound is awesome. Tuned easily. I'm a newbie. It came with no literature on how to use tuner or suggestions. Had to look on line. Would buy again, but thru the store so I could look at it closer.

    The sound is nice and loud. Only adjustment that I'm planning on making is the "action" and bring down the string a little bit lower to the frets by removing shims from the saddle bridge.

    I’m sorry, we don’t have that information available. Perhaps an inquiry to Takamine
