This was my first purchase from Sweetwater, and I really like that they do at least a rudimentary setup on the guitar before they send it to you. The intonation was set, action was perfect, and it was even somewhat in tune when I got it (taking into consideration the stretch of new strings). I've bought a few guitars from other places and they just ship them however the manufacturer sent them and let you worry about the details. Their communication was great too - all the EVH guitars were backordered for over a month, and my sales guy did a good job of keeping me updated on the progress of my order via phone calls and e-mail. I'll definitely buy from Sweetwater again.Yes. Hard to beat Sweetwater. I did have a hiccup in this purchase but they resolved it quickly. That's a sweet guitar as well!
(Sorry for momentarily derailing your thread, @Tenputt - and glad to hear your new guitar has you excited about playing again!)
