Frets have been leveled and polished. The neck has been adjusted to have as little relief as possible, allowing the new owner to adjust the action to their personal preference. Guitar building is a labor of love to me. I won't sell a guitar that I wouldn't be just as happy to keep for myself. Low opening bid. No reserve Ships in a brand new Fender Deluxe padded gig bag.
