Excellent Strat sound for the price but mine has some obvious flaws
I give 3 stars in total because mine has some flaws. Please Google to check if others' had similar problems.
Good things:
Great straty sound.
Feels solid and high quality and sleek in hands.
No finish flaws.
Sleek look and nice buttery maple fretboad
Playbility is nice overall.
Volume and tone knobs taper evenly. Treble is not noticeably lost when lowering the volume. This alone show instrument is not cheap and beginner level.
Flaws:
The tremolo arm didn't quite screw all the way into the hole and it was hard to get it hold position without being too stiff or too loose and having the arm wiggle inside the whole.
Thomann sent me a new tremelo arm free of charge. It is thinner and screws into the hole better and it can hold position without being too stiff but it has some play and wiggle at that state. I think this is something that can be mitigated with some tape and without so much fuss.
Second more annoying problem is that Fret ends are not rounded off and sharp fret tangs are sticking out of the maple. It doesn't seem dangerous but it's pretty uncomfortable. I wouldn't want to say it feels cheap because the material doesn't feel cheap at all but it seems like they cut the process short. My cheaper Vintage V100 guitar has much more rounded of frets and the fret tangs are covered by neck binding.
The action is a tad bit high for my taste. I don't know whether I'm going to get a lot of fret buzz or not, if try to lower it. So I won't judge the guitar by that.
I have ordered some luthier tools to try to fix fret end dressings and attack potential leveling problems when I try to lower the action.
Overall I accept this as real strat because of the sound and quality material.
