 It works perfectly without noise or buzz, and the height of the strings is comfortable to play
It sounds very good, it is well into the octave, and the electronics also work perfectly, without noise or hum. The original headstock has been replaced by a Schaller oil-based one.
The frets have been polished, the fingerboard has been cleaned and conditioned, for a comfortable and pleasant playing.
