Action was high, pretty standard out of the box, but lowering the action caused extreme buzzing, and I was quite disappointed. That was until I lowered the mid pickup and realised that was the cause of the buzz. Once set up to my taste this guitar plays like butter! The caramelised neck, HSS pickups and solid block Gotoh tremolo combination is total killer for the modern player I am (not) as for the classic rock player with this 2 single coils Strat on steroids sounding. Superb construction, underrated Mexican made with the most solid and comfortable neck I've played. Worth way more!
