In the "Shipping and Returns" section of the Ebay ad, it says: "Guitars are set up before we ship ....... "

Really?!? Well thank God someone took the time to adjust the truss rod and intonate the damn thing before it was bolted together and strung up - that'll save me a bunch of time later.

 :mrgreen:

Still - shipping out of my neck of the woods at < $200 is a pretty good deal.
