A nice looking guitar, sadly the build quality has rather let it down. The first problem was a dodgy volume control, a little intermittent. I was going to replace it but once I got the wiring out I found a dry joint. I would say it was an easier fix but the biggest problem is getting the pots in and out.The biggest problem though was the neck, the fretboard isn’t remotely flat, it’s all over the place! It’s not so bad that I need to pull the frets and level the fretboard, a fret-dress should sort it.
You can see here, as I started to grind the frets down, the first 2 frets have hardly been touched, neither have the 8, 9th and 10th. I had to take it a bit more than I would have liked, particularly on an almost new guitar!
Once I got them level next I rounded off the fret tops.
A spot of lemon oil on the fretboard.
Follow it up with a standard 5 point setup, including, the action at the 12th fret…
