I just won this off eBay. It'll be my first f-style, looking forward to playing it.

Congrats. Let me be the first to suggest that you immediately get it set up professionally so your initial experience in playing it will be pleasant and inspiring.

Dave,

Thanks! A setup is the first thing that will be done. Well, after a little pickin' of course.

All the notes were sharp as you went up the neck. I sent it in for a setup and the tech said it was a good buy. After the setup he said it is on the same level as a professional piece. He basically had to pull the bridge back a bit and did a little fret dressing here and there. I can now go up the neck and it's all in tune. The action is excellent and it's louder now with the new strings. I used the D'Addario J74s (.011 - .015 - .026 - .040)

I'm very happy with it. The only thing left is for the case for it to arrive.
