Harley Benton ST-Modern Plus MN HSS FBB

Just had to confirm this before I wrote the review. I was stoked to finally have purchased this and getting it home. Transport went smooth'ish (damaged outer box, but nothing serious with the guitar).... But I wasn't too pleased with the pot-meters and the earthing of the guitar. It makes horrible sounds when I am trying to use the volume-pot, and it has serious noise-issues wich can be that the electronics on this guitar is not sheilded at all and the earth-part of it isn't present at all. I will investigate this as soon as I am changing string-gauge on it. -It came with .010's but I am going down to .009's 'cause that's my prefered strat/tele gauge. It is kind of sad that this beautiful and well build guitar has such electrical issues out of the box. It means that I need to pay to get this sorted out to get it playable in a recording. Wich then again forces me to give this guitar a much lower grade then I was intended too... Fix these issues before the guitar is shipped to the costumers and it'll get a much higher rating. At least from me.
