i had it checked out at guitar center and they told me that it is in perfict condition,and it plays as good as a 2,500.00 guitar and the action cant get no beter then this hamer,jim and i will guarante that if you buy it and go to a guitar shop and ask them to let you play a guitar that cost 2,500.00 and if the hamer isn,t as good i will give you your monny back.jim
