A2.7TBR SK : Good guitar, bad quality control

5 years ago

Pros

- Decent features

- Good sound

- I've been lucky and received one with good looking wood grain

- Smooth thin neck

- Feels and plays nice

Neither Pros, nor Cons

- Tuners are pretty close together, but it's easy to get used to them

- It came in desperate need of a setup, but that didn't bother me because I was going to change the string gauge anyway

Cons

- Some minor finish flaws which should have made the guitar a B-stock in my opinion

- The pickups were mounted with some bad quality screws which were extremely tight. 2/4 screws got scraped and didn't move a bit. I will have to extract and replace them

- After some days of playing I've noticed that the paint on the side of the fretboard was peeling. I didn't realize at first what it was so I gently touched it with my fingernail only to have it extend. This drove me insane and made me scrape the paint off the whole side of the fretboard with only a guitar pick. I didn't hit the guitar or did anything else to cause the lacquer to start peeling

Although I've encountered some flaws which definitely shouldn't have been there at this price point, I like the guitar.
