I don't know. Maybe I got lucky, but I got an unbelievable guitar. It feels so smooth to play, so articulated. The fretboard is the best I have ever seen on any guitar I have owned. The frets are perfectly smoothed, and I cant stop looking at it. I measured them and THEY DONT NEED TO BE LEVELED. This is a first. The body is just flawless. The neck fits perfect in my huge hands, looks like a tigers back with the flame marks, plus an amazing detail I totally appreciate, the side dots on the neck are these jade cool looking stones surrounded by stainless steel. The trem is a beast, and so comfortable to mute the strings on. No matter what I do, how far I bend the trem, the strings just stay in tune. The nut aswell seems fine, perfectly cut, no complains there.
Now, not everything is perfect. The pickups are decent, but I think I will change them in the future with some Toneriders to get that sound that I am looking for. The tuners do their job well, but the tuning pegs are cheap plastic. Can't understand why they cheaped out on them, when the rest of the guitar is of such a high quality. I'll change them with some metal ones. The string tree has these metal string guides that seem to be fine but just to be sure, I will change them with the ones from Graph tech.
But other than that... my god, what an amazing tool.
