Harley Benton HBZ-2005 Deluxe Series

I honestly don't get it. This is the second one I try, as I've sent the first one back because of a dead note. Lo and behold, the replacement one has the same exact, unacceptable, problem. The note at the 7th fret on the G string just doesn't ring, and I don't mean "it rings a little less", it doesn't ring period. As is it's unusable; also it's unfixable, since it's a neck through (which should help avoiding this kind of problem) and their "coin on the headstock" trick does nothing.

Twice in a row is bad, trust me, it's not bad luck: it's bad engineering.
