Very Nice Guitar
Recieved this morning and as always, very well packaged.
Pros....
The fit and finish is excellent
pick ups sound great
The flamed maple top is perfect
The neck feels great, the flame realy stands out
Tuners fell good quality, although a little stiff
Th bridge is very high quality
Cons....
I think this is to rival the Fusion series. I have aFusion HSH in Bengal Burst (fantastic guitar) cost less than this one did, however, HB have opted to put the cheapest string trees on, (roller string trees on the Fusion) and normal locking tuners, as opposed to staggered, which are on the fusion.
The bridge Humbucker seems very loose and wobbly. Maybe its just mine and the springs have moved.
Also, the description of this guitar on the Thomann website states that the fretboard has rounded edges. It deffo doesn't, they're some of the sharpest I've felt on any guitar. I think this is just a mistake in the description and needs removing.
And finally, there is no country of manufacture on the headstock, just a barcode. Never seen this before. Rang Thomann and they seem to think they are made in the Sire factory in China, but wasnt 100% sure.
Overall though this this guitar is really good with high end features. Well worth th money.

Beats my MIA Strat
This guitar is superb in every regard (sans 1, explained below). The neck feels amazing, The tones are good, nothing stellar, but totally usable. The craftsmanship is aesthetically outstanding: binding, reliefs, etc. The tuners hold tune (don't overtighten!). The balance/feel is right. The price is amazing! But when I went to set it up, the low E and A strings would not intonate. The screws and the springs were too short on both due to the bridge pin on the low side being drilled a tiny fraction off. Luckily I work on my own guitars so I took a slightly longer spring and a M3 x 0.5 x 20mm screw (readily available) and was able to extend the saddles farther out than the stock 16mm would go, and it intonated perfectly. I LOVE THIS GUITAR!!!!
