Victory Active SBK : Noise generator

Oh boy is this a noise generator.

Whoever was clever enough to paint the tail piece with the black paint which effectively serves as insulator (so grounding is ineffective) should be fired all together with the whole QC team since NOBODY catched it.

Few minutes with sandpaper did the trick (I have removed the paint from the screw and tail piece on the not so visible place) and now the noise is tolerable.

Anyway, for the price it's really good instrument (if I ignore the noise issue).

The fret ends were finished quite good, no hand cutting so far.

Fretboard is quite dry so conditioning was needed.

To everyone who is considering this guitar:

Buy only if you are looking for project guitar to upgrade...This is not "open and play" instrument...not with the grounding issues.
