Been under a mountain of guitar set-ups this year. Every now and then a guitar comes through that really surprises me.
A regular customer of mine had just bought one of these and brought it in for a tweak as the stock set-up wasn't amazing

Not quite my cup of tea aesthetically, the Fishmans aren't to my taste, but holy crap what a guitar (after a set-up). Really didn't have to do much to it at all. Fresh strings and a truss rod tweak and that was that. Fretwork is fantastic, and it's a hugely resonant and sustaining guitar.
If their entire series is like this I might have to take a closer look at that '87 Series!
Is this a one-off or can anybody concur that they've stepped up? I always felt LTD was overpriced when compared with similar Jackson/Ibanez models. I always felt you paid MIJ prices for MII or MIK instruments that were sub-par.
