SRMS805 - To love or not to love!

Overall it's a great instrument and design, very lightweight. I wish the QC checks in the factory were more thorough tho. A lot of the finer details were not taken into account such as:

- frets hanging in the 'air' from one side

- a few bumps on the fretboard wood that needed sanding

- residual dust and glues on the fretboard

- unglued input jack, hanging in the air

- pickup control was acting as a volume instead of changing between pickups

- lack of any factory shielding in the electronic compartment

But, I guess it's OK for mass production guitar...
