Mainly good, but a few bad issues and no support
The good:
Budget price, looks good, no missing bits,
The bad:
Pickup wires wrong colours, bridge and neck wrongly identified in the instructions.
Unhelpful instructions on orienting the switch and getting front and back pickup volume control located in the correct order.
Knobs don't fit the splines on the pots
2 screws securing tuners sheared at hand tishtness - ridiculous
String ferrels lose and fall out if no string present
Poor strings, high e broke on crome delta plate, possible a sharp edge
Pre drilled wood holes slightly inaccurate, truss rod cover looked wonky
Most importantly: Nil response so far to my support ednquiries emailed to Thomann.
As a retired Chartered Electronic Dev Engineer I would be happy to assist in re-writing the instructions. However, quality control would require consistency of components and colours of wires.

Poor Quality
Comparing this to the JA-style kit I have also purchased - this one is a turd. Screw heads sheared off, a volume pot and a pickup fitting fell apart on assembly, and the thru-body holes and tail piece are so misaligned that it's almost impossible to string up. I play my HB JA kit build everyday over my Fenders, Gibsons and Gretsches. This one is nasty.
