Great guitar, poor quality control
The low E string was buzzing on the unit I received. I’m not sure whether it was a setup issue or something with the guitar itself (I suspect the nut), but it definitely hurt the overall impression and I ended up returning the guitar.
I’m also not a big fan of the aged yellow plastic used on this new series - hoped it looked better on sunburst in person, but not. In my opinion it looks a bit cheap on a brand-new guitar and on the HSS version you can’t even swap the pickup cover separately from the humbucker.
Aside from the issues with my sample, it’s a beast for the money (had a chance to test another sample), but I’ll probably order the SSS version (or maybe a Telecaster), where the yellow plastic is either not present or can be replaced more easily.
