          Complaining that there are hypocrites in church is like complaining that fat people use the gym. Where else would you have them be?

            Seeing what I paid I hate to say this. I am very disappointed with the case. My other Les Paul cases are beautiful, this is all ABS plastic. It reminds me of the old chainsaw cases but with much better hardware and a handle. But hey I can't complain this is a happy day.

                I don't know man... I'd return it, cause that control cavity cover's fit doesn't seem to be perfect. You deserve better on a 3 grand guitar.

                      Or I can adjust my action for the feel I like and not be bothered by arbitrary measurements.

                        Yeah ; but if you were setting the guitar up for someone else and you had no idea their preferences it's a nice easy reference point to go by

                          Not sure about that. I would have a conversation with someone before setting up their guitar. I have never had a conversation with someone about action where they have said they like it 3/64th or 5/64ths. We typically use terms like high, low, slammed to the fretboard or super-high.

                            Factory setup specs work better than people give them credit for, and a departure from it is easier to specify if you have a number to start from and another to get.

                              Guys,he just said the he wants to adjust his guitar until it feels good for him. That's the only correct way to do it.


                              Factory specs are nice and all . . . but they're just an educated guess at a starting point.

                                Getting back to the guitar. So far, I find the bridge Burstbucker to be very bright. More so for my tastes. However, putting the guitar in the middle position and rolling back the tone the guitar sounds phenomenal. I have only played it clean so far. I like to get to know a guitar's tone a bit before I throw a dirtbox on it. I will most likely drag it through the dirt this weekend.

                                The other thing I noticed is the tone pot is weird. It tapers off treble as you roll it back, sounding great at all points. When the tone is set on 0 is beyond muddy. It sounds like someone threw a moving blanket over the amp.

                                I love the guitar, but there will be some tweaking before I have it exactly where I want it to be.
