Great guitar with amazing playability - but then again...
At first, the guitar felt premium in almost every way. Up to the point it feels a bit sterile compared to my Ibanez JEM MIJ.
Then I began discovering flaws...
The truss rod could not be adjusted without removing the retainer bar (when I tried to put the allen key - it would hit the retainer bar). Should I have removed the retainer bar when trying to adjust the truss rod?!
When I tried to hang this guitar on my wall, the wall hanger would hit one end of the retainer bar, as the bar itself is wider than the neck of the guitar. Luckily, I didn't hang it, as it would have inevitably damaged the guitar.
Neck joint is cut under 90° - mine had a micro fracture uppon dellivery - it did not affect the performance of the guitar, but was annoying.
The strings were not centered, but were shifted towards high E, which caused the high E to sometimes slip over the fretboard. The nut lock was also 2mm shorter than the neck, and positioned aligned with the neck edge on the high E string.
Humbucker polepieces don't match the string spacing (both E strings are aligned with the outer tangents of the polepieces).
As this was my first genuine Fender guitar, I wanted to go for the top serial produced model... Now I don't know what to think about Fender.
On the other hand, I am feeling so thankful to the great guys from Thomann customer support.
