I had to take one star off because of a weird problem with the truss rod. When I "loosen" the truss rod (lefty loosey) to add relief and lower the action,I get a LOT of resistance, but when I tighten the rod (righty tighty) for a flatter neck, the resistance goes away to nothing. It's backwards... bizarro. I had to lower the action, and the resistance seriously made me worry I was going to brake the neck, so they lose a star.
On a funny note, Fedex for some reason shipped the guitar from Los Angeles, to Alabama, then back to Los Angles to my home, kinda weird.
