Very reasonably priced for the amount of instrument you're getting. My chief concern was with the quality of the neck I might receive. The fretwork on this one is absolutely flawless and the nut is cut as close to perfect as any I've ever seen. In the playing position, one of the knobs might 'look' slightly off-kilter, but after closer inspection that's by design. Play it and you'll see for yourself. There is absolutely nothing about this guitar that made me feel like it wasn't going to be a keeper. One very happy owner. Thank you, Thomann, for sending me another 5-Star product (next day delivery no less)!!
ETA: When the guitar came out of the box, I noticed that all the strings were de-tuned about a half-step. This would have corresponded to almost exactly the amount of de-tuning "if" the factory relieved neck tension for shipping. Sure enough, when I tightened up the truss rod, almost every aspect of a good setup sorted itself right out. Found out last night the push/pull knobs aren't some gimmick feature. They produce a tonal change that is quite impressive. Compared to my Fender Ultra II HSS, the difference is night and day. Am I disappointed this comes with a maple veneer instead of a maple cap? Nope ... Am actually about four thousand dollars happier. LOL
