Gt-Pro Deluxe FB : Amazing guitar but for my tastes needs some improvements.

The guitar was shipped really fast.It needed some work upon the first use.The High E string could not go to the tuning since it was too long had to do some modifications, and the G string had a long winding at the nut that cracks when bending strings in the lower frets.The whole concept of this guitar is really amazing the resonance is rich considering the size, also the the weight.The bridge is astonishing and has a lot of features and its a really nice piece of engineering.As was pointed out by others the pickups are the weakest point on the guitar.I will be replacing those with higher gain pickups and probably sand a bit down the wood where the pickups sit as i'm constantly hitting the pickups with the pick and its really annoying.The volume knob is kinda in the way to so ill probably remove the tone and put the volume knob in its place.the fretwork is also decent.I would probably never get rid of this guitar and would probably buy it again if lost or stolen.I can really tell that steinberger is a really serious company, however Im giving it 4 out of 5 stars only because the problems related to the pickups.
