So, let's talk about the good things:
- The quality of the materials is great;
- The neck is great;
- Fretboard is great;
- The pickups were great;
- The guitar came intonated and tuned right out of the box. No buzzing, no bad sound. Just playable instantly. Which is really to be appreciated from fender.
The bad:
- The pictures on Thoman are 100% misleading. The guitar is not that dark redish color that you see in the pictures. It is 100% WALNUT, from the actual title of the guitar WAL, which is a dark brown. But you have no way of knowing that until you receive it. The guitar is still gorgeous, but yeah, it doesn't match the pictures on the website sadly.
- The black cover near the pickups is covered in a thin piece of protective plastic layer. That plastic layer was absolutely trashed. It looked like they were ice skating with it. And even after the removal, you can still see a few minor scratches. But nothing on the body thankfully.
Overall, yeah, fantastic guitar. Worth the money.
