First, I had to pull off the neck and shim it because the people in Fxxxer's factory in chin-a don't know how to make or adjust guitars. The strings at the end of the neck (closest to the bridge) were almost 3/4" above the fret wires.

Second, I had to put in a replacement plastic bridge modded to specifically bring the intonation closer to neutral.

Third, the balance of the instrument is crappy. Let go of the neck and it drops like a rock. Regretably, there's nothing I can do about this - short of attaching a lead bar to the inside of the body to achieve a neutral balance. But this would also increase the weight so I just deal with it.

Fourth, the equalizer has 4 post controls. I had to cut down the volume post control so it was lower than the other controls. Without this mod, it's too easy to accidentally bump the volume control when you're trying to adjust the equalizer controls.

Fifth, I put on Ernie Ball Slinky strings (blue package) because I can easily bend them almost three tones higher.

I have a cotton shop towel devoted exclusively to wiping and polishing this instrument. I use lemon pledge in a spray can. Makes the guitar "smooth" to play as well as looking great.

After all the fixes that were needed, it's now on the border of being a fairly decent guitar that I use frequently.

The equalizer produces a limited, but acceptable range of tones. Remember, this instrument only has one pizeo pickup so don't expect too much. If you're looking for a Grand Canyon Wide range of pickup tones for your passive pickups, you should consider the products that awesome-guitars.com offers.
