There is the slightest noise on one tone pot, but the guitar is 22 years old so no issue for me. The guitar plays like buttah! Crisp, clean, all around great sound. My Sonnyboy called from Boston and asked how it felt after the repairs and setup were completed. I had to say the guitar makes me a better player just by virtue of it being such a good guitar. I really should be playing it more often.

A good setup goes a long way to reinvigorating a guitar. Enjoy!
