I orderd this guitar mainly to setup an instrument to play slide with. I didn't want to spend a lot of money but, wanted something that was decent quality to setup and gig with. I will raise the action and, tune it in a open key which sort of makes it unplayable for any chord or note playing in A440 tuning. When I received the guitar I wa very impressed with the overall quality of the instrument in looks, sound, and, playability. I got way more than I was hoping for!
