Ortega RMFE100AVO

After reading the wildly differing reviews of this instrument here, I decided to take a chance and order one knowing that Thomann usually honour their return policy if you have good reason to be unhappy with the product. In reality this instrument was everything I feared it might be .... cheap gun metal fittings, non grover tuning pegs, uneven binding and joinery with a cheap wooden support for the scratch plate. The photo's look great but the reality on inspection is really poor and amateurish in construction. After reading the glowing reports about it's pickup system I plugged it in and was unsurprisingly by now completely disappointed. Uneven string volumes with very low volume output.. what a joke! Take my advice and avoid this instrument like the plague!
