THE HEAD IS SO WELL DONE, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE EVER KNOWN A CRACK EVER EXISTED IF I HADN'T MENTIONED IT. THE NECK IS STRAIGHT AND FRETS ARE GOOD. THE ACTION IS VERY PLAYABLE; IT MEASURES 4MM FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BASS STRING TO THE TOP OF THE 12TH FRET AND 3MM SAME MEASUREMENTS ON THE HIGH E STRING.
