Sadly the instrument I received had a faulty bridge pickup so I am unable to give a "fair" review of a faultless instrument.
Firstly, out of the box it needed a few tweaks to get it to where it played without crazy fret buzz, which isn't an issue at all as I'd expect to need to alter things like string height and intonation on an instrument of this cost. After that, it played brilliantly; the neck and fret ends felt flawless, better than some much higher spec and much more expensive instruments.
Play-ability was good and I was very pleasantly surprised by how well it physically felt and played.
Sadly, however, the bridge pick up had a fault and was woefully under powered, measuring at just 6.2k ohms versus the 9k ohms of the neck. After reaching out to the Thomann team they requested it returned to be replaced, though I requested a refund as I've lost a bit of faith in the QC process.
Now some 23 days after posting off the guitar I am still awaiting a refund, so the best part of a month without instrument or the money I spent on it. Be prepared to play the lottery, as always, with instruments this cheap. If the bridge pick up wasn't faulty, this would have been an immaculate player with a perfect feeling neck and frets. Sadly it was not to be.
