Disappointment
After reading the numerous praises and positive reviews on this guitar - I must say I am quite disappointed with what I got.
First off, the guitar gets out of tune after just a few minutes of soloing in the upper positions. The tuners cannot be tightened with a screw or otherwise adjusted, so you"re left at the mercy of their cheapness - and they are just mercilessly lousy...
Second, even after 4th thorough octave - action adjustments of all strings, some frets around the octave simply won't get in tune. You'll get a quite substantially out-of-tune note every time you play them. Funny thing is, frets a few positions above - play well and are in tune whrn played. T.m. the problem is non-fixable on my side.
Third' the hiss going out of the singlecools when the strings are not played is much more intensive than with other strats. I also own a Fender strat USA, with standard (not noiseless) pickups, - and the noise is much, much less prevalent + it gets nearly noiseless in the combined positions , which for some reason does not work with this strat clone
And fourth, the trem bar is totally useless, Even a slightest move with the tremolo- and you can tune the guitar again.
I had to return this guitar. My prrvious Harley Benton from Thomann - a PRS copy - was a much, much better piece...
