the guitar is perfect for my style..excellent sounding distortion and thick sound throughout the fret board. The action was great when I first received it and I didn't have to change anything about that. The pickups where also adjusted beautifully so the only thing I needed to do was tune it down!the hardware is hard and will not wear, the strap buttons are solid as well. For any potential buyers I'd say don't wait for someone else to get it just get it then and there!
