ok... took a couple minutes to play her... not freakin bad for $53!!! the strings were kind of high so i had to adjust the saddles... still have to play with them, but it made a hell of a difference. i tried to adjust the truss rod, but it's way in there... don't know how i'll deal with that. but she didn't have sharp fret ends or anything like that,
i plugged her in and tuned her up... not too shabby!!! she doesn't have the full sound of a $54 guitar, but i wouldn't expect it to.
definitely have to change the strings and oil the neck.
guys... make sure you check the inside of the box when you unpack her. it comes with a cable, strap, pics, tools, etc. i almost threw them out thinking they were just filler in the box so the guitar wouldn't slide around.
