Amazing strat for the money!
For 100ish Euros you get strat that is
- beautiful
- sounds like strat
- lightweight
BUT:
Out from the box it's set up at medium height, so i've turned the truss rod 1/4 of a turn tighter, and set the bridge 1 whole turn lower. Nut seems cut a bit too high, fret edges are great, frets need leveling to get to reall low action, you have to invest a bit of either time or give it to lutihier/guitar repari to set it up, polish/level the frets.
ONE BIG CON:
i think i recived a lemon here. action is set low, but it's still buzzing like crazy. it was set up by a pro luthier but he could not fix it. even on medium action it's still buzzing and is really uncomfortable to play. i will be returing the product to thomann, hope they fix/refund/or send me another one
It stays in tune, tuners are really nice, they don't jump, bridge is good if you don't use tremolo arm and that's it. you need a strat, get this one, set it up, put a decent pair of strings and you're set !

Nut was slanted and the guitar sounded dull with no resonance
Very disappointed with this purchase. The basswood body really lets this guitar down and the nut wasn't even straight relative to the body - it was off by about 4 degrees.
The pickups were awful sounding -- they sounded lifeless.
The basswood body was terrible -- the guitar had no resonance to it - damped highs, flimsy mids and muddy bass.
