TE-70RW Deluxe Series : Pretty solid guitar, even if it were twice the price

Im way away in Texas, about 2 weeks to ship to my house. Thankful for double boxing, outside box in bad shape, inner box was fine, A+ for shipping considering. Intonation and string height was uneven all around. The tone of the pickups is better than expected. Some buzzing all around the fretboard, even after setup, have to look further on that. Had some blemishes on the binding, the neck, and string holes on the back, and this was not b-stock.

My luthier asked if I had tightened all the screws, i hadnt, said all were super tight compared to many other brand new Fenders, another A+ there. String holes on the back wanted to come out with every string, so had to wood glue those. Intonation great now, but still has some fret buzz and high E wants to slip off the neck a lot.

Overall very happy, looks great, plays good and sounds great when plugged in, buzzing mostly just noticeable when unplugged. Would consider buying another HB in the future, maybe a LP or PRS copy. EDIT - got the buzzing fixed without fret leveling, plays great now, intonation and tone awesome.
