The neck is awesome, with a great balance between thick and thin, excellent fretwork, and a pleasing natural resonance... it feels great. The Circle Fretting System is unique in that the frets are literally part of an arc. Not only does it help with intonation, but should it ever need a re-fret, normal frets work. Crazy, no?
The hardware is of excellent quality and the pickups deliver a great sound with a percussive, defined attack, sweet and clear top end, an expansive midrange, and nice lows.

Cosmetic condition notes and mods: As you can see on the end, there are marks left from removing the trapeze tailpiece and other minor finish wear. The tailpiece was removed before I got it, leaving the marks. I added the most awesome Goldo Les Trem. The neck is clean and smooth withno major marks. Overall it is in great shape for traveling halfway around the world.

The neck is straight, action is low, intonation is good, and truss rod works. All electrics have been tested and are working properly. The frets have normal wear and there's no major buzz issues. No headstock breaks.
