Almost perfect
rumaso 20.03.2022
With one initial exception this is a 5 star guitar. Finish is beautiful with absolutely no flaws, action is low, fretboard and frets are level with no buzz anywhere, fret ends are excellent and intonation is spot on. Now, the only issue was that the low E locking tuner was stripped. A quick email with a video was sent and two days later a new tuner was on the way. Excellent service response! It arrived international in 3 days, just like the guitar did previously. Replaced it yesterday and now everything is perfect. I absolutely love the guitar and the active pickups.

Great guitar!
Jorode 10.03.2021
The guitar came with a very good setup, only minor tweaks to the intonation but it was not really needed. Finish was flawless, could not find any problems. Only con was that the truss rod cover was missing, it has been there so i think it was removed during setup and forgot to put in place after. But i have contacted thomann and i will get one.
Great guitar with awsome pickups, they have very good clarity and does work well whitout battery but i will use the active function with battery because it sound great.

Very good for the price
R.Ziebinski 21.06.2023
Very balanced sound.
Pickups more vintage than modern.
Fretwork and nut action had to be corrected.
Locking keys are good quality.

Overall build quality and sound for the price - amazing!

Glad I bought it
Anthony W 15.02.2022
This guitar was delivered this morning 5 days after despatch, not bad all the way from southern Germany to Manchester. Really lovely looking, has a very nice flemed veneer top, could not find anything wrong with it, just a pinging from the d string but easy to put right. I was apprehensive at first buying without trying but took a leap of faith and for £319 its as good as my korean prs tremonti that cost over £600 a few years back. Get one if your inclined. Only gave 4 stars throughout because i'm not rating it against its price but against pricier gear with which it competes very well.
