First of all lets say that the price is fantastic for an 8 string fan fret!

Really enjoy the feel and ease of play of this guitar. Intonation is nice + it came with a good set-up from thomann. The space between the strings and the frets its perfect and also no buzzing.

The sound is not the best when playing with distortion/overdrive, and its getting muddy especially on lower strings (to be expected in this price range).For distortion-less sound i am happy with the result.

BUT you can't even tune the damn thing, tunners jump a lot when tunning. Tunning stability is awful when playing. Goodluck bending the strings...I spend more time tunning than actually playing...I changed the tunners with lock tunners. Now its a bit more stable.

Edit Changed my rating: After some months of playing and setting, the tunning stability, especially on the 4 heavy strings, is unacceptable. I dont know what else to do, its very annoying, loosing tune every 5 minutes or on every bend...
Bottomline: Disappointed
