So, in conclusion, if the neck on that $100 OE30 felt good to you... I'd
buy it! It beats paying more for a mystery guitar by mail order. How
often do you get to buy a really good guitar for $100?

There really inst anything wrong with the neck on this one. I dont know
where it was made but I do know I was shocked at the quality of this thing.
Im also thinking that possibly the owner might have had it professionaly set
up as well.

I tried one of these OE30's at one of our local used guitar stores and
I almost bought it.
It really was a nice guitar and the frets and neck on this one where
also pretty nice. I am not one of those set neck "purists" so the fact
that it had a bolt on was a non-issue for me.
Even the open coil pups where pretty hot sounding too....definately
worth $100 bucks!

I ended up getting a brand new Epi Dot 335 and couldn't be happier...
