Arrived Monday but only got a chance to upack today. 1st thing... How the F**ck do they make these for so little money? 

Some things other people thinking of buying may want to know:

No hole under the scratchplate like some others have reported. Can use without plate now.

Bridge has changed from the large bulky one to one with Fender dimensions and screw placement. 

Volume and tone pots work as they should do. 

Gave It a quick set up and It plays superbly, love the tone with my old flats on too! 

Mods I'm gonna do:

New tuners. (anyone know what are direct replacements?)

Amber tint the neck with Nitro.

Reshape the headstock.

Add own decal.

Repaint scratch plate aged cream.

Must say I am blown away at the price. 

Cheers 

Geoff.

That's a welcome NBD Geoff.

The bigger bridge and wiring hole were a balls up and kind of spoiled things. Glad to hear Thomann sorted it out 😎

 

The question isn't so much How can Thomann do it so cheap, It's more how can the rest get away with charging so much 😁
