Just had mine set up boy what a difference. It always sounded great but the action got a little high lately and now man oh man does it play like a dream. The owner of the shop even said it was the best paying/sounding G&l he ever played. He even wanted to buy it from me. Its amazing what a difference a simple set up can do.

Bought one about 4 months ago, definitely need to get a setup done on it. Love it, but I am sure they could improve it.

i got one in a trade earlier this month and took it to Mike Lull for new strings and a setup. a good setup does make a difference. i think my fenders are going to collect dust now.
