Guitar with good potential but came very badly finished

I think the guitar, specially for the price point, has very good potential. The tuners and tremolo are OK if you don't abuse it, although I believe it would be worth to invest in better tuners. The pickups sound nice and acoustically the guitar sounds pretty well and have a good sustain. The issue I had was with the frets and setup. The frets came like they were never sanded, very rough, and the action came very high. When I tried to setup for lower action I found that the frets are not leveled, so I still have lots of buzz and even dead notes when bending on the high frets unless I give the neck a deep bow or raise the strings again. If only it came with a playable setup I would probably not have much bad to say about it.

Needs a lot of tuning

Tremolo system on this guitar is a joke. It is impossible to make it to work properly. Too small space for tremolo block inside body is preventing from free tremolo floating. Springs claw is screwed offset also. Quality control could be better. Back cavity cover has wrong cutout and prevents 6th string end come out when you need to change it. Right out the box guitar needs a lot of work and setting. Otherwise - nice guitar for a price. Sounds like proper start.
