When I got some new strings for the guitar I changed over the saddles and strung the guitar, then setup the action by changing the saddle height. I noticed there was still some fret buzz and put this down to the Truss rod. I found it pretty much impossible to move the truss rod with the supplied Allen key so i could not setup the guitar to the best possible action, I'm sure I could do it if I used a better tool or if it was setup professionally by a Luthier / Technician.

 

 

The Peavey Raptor Junior is a decent beginners guitar, but it would definitely need a bit of setting up before it was ready to be played. If you were after a beginners guitar like the Raptor I would suggest buying it from a local music store where you can try it out and have them set it up for you with new strings, Some online stores will setup guitars for you but they are becoming few and far between.
