Great all-rounder guitar
Really pleased with the guitar. The 3 way switch is all it needs! The pos'n1 gives a good articulate warm acoustic sound, with good tonal variation on the second knob. The mid pos'n2 gives a good plastic back acoustic sound - in the driven position (2nd knob clockwise) it gives me a perfect drive tone for leads. The 3rd pos'n I find is less warm & inspiring but I tend to use that less anyway.
One problem I did encounter was when using my "pod" radios (Xvive) - in the 3rd electro-mag pos'n with drive (2nd knob fully clockwise) there is an audible high pitched interference. I discussed this with Thomann who were very cooperative (as usual) and sent me a 30cm m/jack-f/jack extension lead to isolate the radio away from the high gain preamp in the guitar. Thankfully this solved the problem, abeit the need for a 30cm tail dangling off the guitar (or in yr pocket or strap).
I had to dress the fret ends - hence deleted a star for quality.
Otherwise I love the lightness of the guitar, acoustic playability unplugged. Would I like to see anything more? - maybe an extra gain control, but really if you need more - thats what pedals are for. I do enjoy the simplicity of the guitar, and fed into a PA/mixer it gives a good enough selection of tones for a night out without extra pedals & clutter. Well recommended & very pick-up-able!.

The most...
I fell in love with this MIM Acoustasonic Tele after seeing the Thomann review on YouTube. It is the most amazing guitar I have. It gives you flexibility to choose sounds ("voices") each true to the intended tone. It is light and easy to find, and change, the optimum position to play whether sitting or standing.
The only thing not 100% for me was that the strings are too high near the body of the guitar and should be adjusted to be more comfortable.
Oh yes! The gigbag gets a full 100% too
