Fast shipping to the US once I decided this was the one I wanted. Great customer service on my order. Box was opened somewhere in it's travels, but inner boxes were fine.
Wow, so nice looking and solid. I'm guessing 7.5-8.0lb range weight, which is fine by me.
Color and binding all look amazing. Neck is so nice and feels "close" to my MIM Strat neck in thickness. The strings that came on it feel fresh to me ,so I'm gonna play those for a while. Might switch to 9.5s when I change them.
Frets seem good to me, just a few slightly sharp ends, which I will smooth out myself. Pretty good as is.
The tone and volume knobs seem fine to me and the pickup selector feels solid. The tuners, as others have mentioned, are a bit stiff, but work just fine.
I Really like the sounds, especially the middle position. Neck is bright but sounds good rolled down to dark.
Bridge is loud and bright, but can be tamed with volume or tone and handles the higher gain well. All good stuff
No need to upgrade anything, but will probably do some minor fret-end filing and maybe switch the tone wires to right handed to see if they are more dynamic. But am super happy with it as it.
