Just got a '63 Kessel from them and it was setup to perfection with Thomastik JS112 strings.
Chicago Music Exchange did a great job packing and setting up the guitar. What a refreshing change from the last archtop I ordered which arrived setup with .010 strings adjusted so low that the previous owner must have been playing ragas on it.
They are a class act and worked with me every step of the way including an initial scare when the shockwatch indicator had not only indicated a high impact but was broken by UPS (likely with someone tampering with it to try to reset it)
