Not worth it, unfortunately

llnkv 04.06.2025

The guitar is good overall, it plays nicely and I liked the pickups. However, it had visual, although small, but unacceptable imperfections such as bad fretwork in some places, visible glue and tool marks. At this price rate, it’s absolutely not acceptable. I’ve returned the guitar back.

Nice sound, QC could be better

M._I. 20.04.2025

Nice sound both plugged and unplugged. Very resonant instrument. Wider neck the average Gibson neck (at least the one I tried). But the one I tried had some QC issues: high action from factory set up, fa bit of rett buz (probably due to high action), finish (paint/surface) not even/level, laquer on the side of fretboard (unacceptable at this price point and brand).

What is this quality control?!

I’ve already purchased a couple of these guitars, but I had to return all of them due to serious craftsmanship issues. The one I bought from Thomann was the best out of the three, but it still wasn’t flawless. I’m really hoping to get a worthy replacement. My biggest wish is that stores would properly inspect their guitars when they receive them from suppliers.
