Special attention will be given to the setup and neck comfort. The 1) TECHNICAL CHECK, Every technical aspect of the guitar will be tested, a truss rod test, fret test, relief, fit and finish, nut slot depth, INTONATION, we even drill a hole in the neck to check the wood. The 2) COMFORT CHECK informs about the neck shape, good for small hands, hand size and shape recommendation, set up, relief, nut and saddle adjustment, action test, etc. The 3) SOUND CHECK Here we will listen to the guitar with different amplifiers like a Fender, Marshall JMP, and an EvH Peavey 5150 van Halen amplifier. We will asses the guitar sound quality and the pickups and magnets and all the position switch settings in clean and distorted as well as high gain with different music styles varying from country to rockabilly, blues, jump blues, pop , classic rock, and metal. The CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION gives buying advice and whether you need a luthier or guiar tech or technician to make the guitar playable or fix issues.
