Problematic B String.
I've had 2 of these guitars over the past month and a half, and I can confidently say that this guitar would be a 10/10 if the quality control were better.
The factory setup isn't great for me, but it's easily adjusted, so that is not a problem. But what is a problem, is that the B string either doesn't ring out properly, regardless of the setup. Or, it does ring out, but it loses pitch within a second.
For context, I play in a strange tuning, that being: AEADEAD. So when I play an E or Eb, it goes down to B, Bb, or even lower depending on what note you're playing. I've also tried to intonate the guitar since I thought it was an intonation issue, but intonation didn't work at all on the B string for some reason.
Truly a shame because this guitar does sound and play amazingly. Maybe I'll purchase it again in time, but not for now.

Fretboard is not straight
When looking from the bridge to check the arm straighness, you can see that the frets dip (fret 24 to 12 it is straight, dip is seen right after the 12th fret going towards the neck).
Effects: the action is low, but there is fret buzz after the 12th fret and gets unplayable by the 15-17th fret.
when pressing the string at the 12th and 24th fret, the string touch all the frets in between.

Muddy Pickups
2022 Model: They changed the old hot rail style pickups for something more conventional, but there's zero note separation on the low strings now. Forget about playing extended chords. The bridge pickup sounds like a muddy neck pickup, and the neck pickup is even muddier. My model also had some QC issues. It looks like it was beaten with a hammer after the 12th fret. Big, glaring dents along the neck where the fret ends are. Never saw anything like it before. Tuners are cheap feeling but work fine. Nut was cut well. Frets are smooth enough with no sharp fret ends. Neck is slim but has high shoulders. Almost feels like a slim D shape. Comfortable enough I suppose. Just a pity about the pickups in particular. Unusable for recording right now (using Neural DSP sims)
