The finish and the hardware are fine for the price. However, my specimen came with issues that require more work (and more money than the guitar itself) to make it play alright.
The main problem is an uneven neck surface; there is a dip or stair-like depression right under the second fret behind on the neck. The neck has to sanded down and reshaped to eliminate the depression that hampers playing.
Furthermore, there were two extra neck mounting screw holes (not including the middle one whence the bodies are hanged to paint and dry) on the body right next to each other, bringing into question neck stability.
The guitar sounds fine. But to get a clean sound without buzzing or choking, the action needs to be higher than, say, on a Squier.
Lastly, the guitar is very heavy. So heavy that it's uncomfortable even playing it sitting down.
Thomann refunded some of the purchase price to compensate for the issues mentioned.
