    All set up and working now. Had to adjust the truss rod to loosen up the neck. I had to do nearly a full turn. I have done nothing with the frets. There is now no fret buzz anywhere and the action is low. I had to play around with the bridge. Tried lowering and making them higher, but I think it was just normal. Out of all the parts on the guitar I think the bridge is not great. It seems very flimsy. But the neck and the body is excellent and I think that is where the value is. The guitar sounds pretty good for what you get. I am no audiophile. I mean for $140 it is excellent value and well worth doing. I know I can do better next time. Not that I did a bad job on this. I think i might try a GR-1SF next.

    Thanks for all the support and advice that was given.
