You get what you pay for
UPD, I played a little more and realized that the frets needed to be sanded and polished. Now the scale is rebuilt, but there are jingling frets and with the bends the string rustles very much about the fret. What I was counting on for this price.
I took this guitar because it is the cheapest 30 inch baritone. And I will evaluate it as an electric guitar.
In general, everything was done very well. But if you look closely, you notice signs of a low price:
- in the photo in the store there are the words "HBZ Customwound" on the sounds, but they are not on the guitar that came. Sounds sooooo weak. In the neck position, the sound is too soapy;
- frets are soft, during transportation they have traces of string friction;
- standard strings are very soft and have poor intonation even in its standard tuning;
- the nut has very rough cuts for the strings, and in order to pull the string out of the nut, you need to apply force.
But if you go back to the price, all these are mere trifles that are eliminated for a pittance in a few days.
As a base for the next upgrade, this is a great option. The closest competitors cost at least twice as much (Squier Bass VI or SubZero Rogue VI).

great for the money but has issues
Bought this guitarbass because I wanted a bass VI. Overall the bass is good, but the tonepots failed pretty quickly. Sound is great and intonation is alright. The bridge posts were not completely vertically mounted, they tilted slightly forward. Used it successfully for a few projects but ended up selling it since I didn't have any need for it.

Very budget guitar
The idea of it is nice.
The E string is very very hard to tune. Even with the help of additional material it's intonation is still quite questionable.
Overall, a toy. For a toy - it's nice but if you would like to gig with it, then probably it's best to choose a more expensive and better quality product.

The body finish has no blemishes except one tiny fleck bellow a tone knob, the fretboard and the nut are without sharp edges but unfortunately frets were not leveled properly. Two frets sits too high and give buzz when action is set lower than 4 mm. It is easily to fix though. I would also advise Thomann to change stock pickups. There are too muddy and lows are missing. Considering the price however I am quite satisified with the product because it can be easily modded.

Perfect toy for low end explorers
Use - for those who realized how good baritone guitars is and want to try one with single coils (for sure baritones suppose to have singles to enhance treble) or even to go lower to E.
Idea and design is perfect,
but unfortunately assembly quality is not good.
In fact all flaws could be easily corrected, except one (on guitar what I got) - Bridge is positioned wrongly and as result lower E string is almost at neck edge, while high E is far away from it. So bridge holes in body needs to be re-drilled.
