EX-84 Modern EMG BK : Not bad for the price

Bad:

The guitar (at least this one) only got a visual inspection. So they missed one of the knob was completely loose to the point I thought it was broken, the volume knob was loose as well only not as bad.

I had to oil the neck as it was very dry. The strings feel old as well.

The frets needed a slight polish, no big deal.

The good:

The body of the guitar is visually perfect (which is why the things mentioned above went unnoticed)

The setup is very good so you don’t have to worry about doing anything extra.

The intonation is also very good.

The biggest surprise is the frets, they’re leveled and with no sharp edges. I’ve had guitars double the price that I needed to take to a luthier to not only set it properly but also to level the frets or to round the edges.

The guitar is very light, so for me it’s a welcome change

In short:

Have some tools nearby, just in case you to adjust something.

Change the strings.

Plug and play
