I bought three of these necks and the very first one was absolutly straight put it on the body and strung it up and it played perfect with the most reasonable low action you could get out of it the fret work was imaculate there a medium jumbo sized fret its a clear gloss finish i didnt like but a friend showed me how to use a green medium grade scotchbrite pad to rub it down to a beautiful smooth satin finish it woked great. (try this its awsome ) the second two i fret leveld and it was even better. it comes with a crap locking nut cut way to high. take it off and stick tooth picks with wood glue in the holes and knock it down with a dremal tool and file to desired hight ( its not as bad as you might think ) dont buy a $10.00 dollar nut there garbage get a gotoh or floyd. all this was absolutly worth the two and a half month wait from china as trump says im waiting on another one right now its not that much different than the neck on the new evh 5150 its a basic c type just get it youl love it.
