Set up great out of box. Playability and frets very good. Sound is developing very well. Bright and tight out of the box, but it’s quite loud and is filling out nicely now and is starting to loosen up. The VOS finish is ok, but not that great. Sound wise it’s great. Plenty of mojo and getting better all the time. I always wanted an AJ and I’m definitely happy I got it. A guitar I feel will be superb after 5 or 6 years of playing. Negative points are, I don’t feel the finish is as good as it could be, and i feel the inside of the guitar wasn’t cleaned up as good as it could be, but doesn’t change the fact that it’s a great guitar overall.
