Setting the string position, and despite the solid and practical-looking ridges difficult because none of the 3 supplied Allen wrench fits. An Allen you also need to vote, because the tuning machines, sitting here at the dock, can be moved at best partially with pure striking force are very stiff.
Therefore, the instrument turns out to be pleasing in tune and sounds except for the buzz dry already quite full and has good sustain. About amplifier and the sound is good, floating through the separately controllable pickups, but as always with cheap instruments, thin. Good pickups are now times alone as expensive as this whole instrument. If one wants to make a good sound on stage, you should be installing such expensive pickups.
Otherwise the guitar is very well balanced and not too heavy, thus (with better pickups) for professionals and longer performances suitable. By mounting the upper back of the body Gurtknopfes, not sideways as usual, to look at the fretboard is not as easy. But at least for professionals that is certainly no problem.
In addition to the Allen keys a cheap jack cable and a nice little gig bag, the whole thus is unmatched handy - great for traveling!
Conclusion: A beautiful and exceptional instrument (with minor visual defects), which is already playable on delivery because of intonation and string height good. With better pickups and little tweaking fully professional fit.
