It came with the strings tuned down a bit, which is good as there's not too much tension on the neck while it's being shipped. Speaking of the strings, the set it came with are horrible, very rough - get yourself a decent set of strings and change them immediately (I believe these ship with 9 to 42).
It will need a decent setup as the string action is very high. The neck and fingerboard are lightly finished, which I quite like. Can't see any twists on the neck, and the fingerboard is even. The fret ends are a little rough, but not too bad and easily dealt with using a bit of light emery paper, and they could do with a light polish. The tuners are ok, but I expect them to be the first thing I will change.
