CG-45 NS : Hard to complain

2 years ago

At 68€ a pop, it's hard to complain about this guitar.

Yes, it did need work out of the box... the action was very high (close to 4mm)... the frets weren't level and were in desperate need of a good sand/polish... the neck relief needed adjusting (this helped a little with the action due to heavy bow... shaving a few mm off the saddle got it the rest of the way)... the cheap plastic nut was pinging on 3rd and 4th string + strings over 1st fret too high... the fretboard was dry and 'hairy' (wood fibers coming off) and the fret ends needed some smoothing over.

But once that was taken care of, the guitar plays well enough and punches quite a bit above its weight.
