Custom Line CLD-41SE WN : More than I expected

Looked like a nice guitar. Listened to the audio samples. I figured for the price, what should my expectations really be. So first: out of the box.

The Bad: if you look at the pick guard in a certain way you can see scratches. No biggie! Action was really High. Biggie!

The good: The wood was flawless. Inlays were beautiful. Had it set up. Now I've lived with it for a couple weeks.

Conclusion: This is a real nice guitar. Exceeds my expectations. I play it more than my Martin.

Update: So I have been using this guitar for several months now. Using 12 gauge strings, I lowered the tuning by 1/2 step. This changed everything. This has become my favorite guitar. I like it better than my Martins, Gibsons, Fenders and Taylors.

Update: I've lived with this guitar for a year now. Took a while to get it to where I wanted it. Had to change the saddle several times, but I finally found the sweet spot. The holes for the pins should be a little farther back (for future reference to the Luthiers). 2 of the tuning keys went south. Replaced them with Gotoh MLB3-G. Chrome Looks bitchin'! Nicer than the gold.

I still really like this guitar. I play it everyday. Haven't touched the Martin .
