R-457MN WH Progressive Series : from okay to really good

7 years ago

When I received this guitar, it was good. It played a little bit stiff. The frets were a bit rough. Making scraping sounds while bending. Then I decided to polish the frets with OOOO-grade steel wool and I lowered the the action by turning all of the bridge saddle screws a full 360 degrees. This made an awesome improvement. Plays very smooth now. No fret buzz - maybe I can lower the action even further :)

The fretboard is very flat ; very large radius. When I pick up this guitar after playing my strat or my tele it even feels as if it's hollow :)

The finish is flawless. Great guitar for very little money. The white color looks great in combination with the maple fretboard. Even my wife and my daughters agree with that :)
