Great metal machine

I got this a second guitar. The moment i saw the floyd rose i was hooked and wanted the guitar.

First off out of the box it wasn't set-up too well. It was in tune and worked well for 10 minutes, but very quickly went out of tune. The asthetic of the guitar was perfect, however the bridge was completely slanted toward the higher strings. After an afternoon of tinkering and tweaking i got a great setup. I stretched the strings, adjusted the bridge and locked the strings in nice and tight. NOTE: The trussrod, action and intonation was all pretty much perfect and needed no adjustments

After i setup the guitar it plays like a dream, can take extreme whammy stuff and holds tune very nicely. You can do divebombs, flutter effects, bends you name it and it holds tune nicely. NOTE: please check the nut and the saddles, mine was a bit loose.

all in all, if you don't mind setting up your guitar and want a floyd rose go for it.


UPDATE: I've owned the guitar for about four months as of writing this. It is an absolute bliss to play. It sounds wonderful and is really comfortable.
That being said the whole floyd rose is a death trap. The whammy can take a bit of abuse before going wildly out of tune. A few divebombs are alright, but be careful as you can mess the tuning very quickly. My low E went from E to C. I've also noticed that the socket for the whammy bar is low quality. If you turn the whammy bar counter clockwise you can unscrew the whole socket. I had to put a pen spring in the socket along with the whammy bar to keep the bar stiff enough to stay in one position and not loosen the whole socket. Furthermore the saddles are a nightmare, When changing strings it turned out the threads were stripped and i needed a replacement saddle. The same thing has happened again and I am currently needing a new one. The parts are cheap and very poorly made.

The guitar is great once it's up and running, but getting to that stage is hell.

Disappointed

Arrived today. The whammy bar was loose inside the box and at some point wedged into the fine tuning machines and ground off some of the gold plate finish. The paint is ok, but half of the top has pretty bad orange peel. There was NO Allen keys included for the Floyd Rose at all, so I have to go get those. The neck has a very noticeable bow and the action is so high I can fit my pinkie UNDER the strings. The bridge itself is tilted way back, there was clearly zero setup done on this guitar. If I had paid any more for it I would be upset. As it is, I just hope I can get it into playing condition because I really did not want a wall hanger. To be fair, this is my 5th guitar from Thomann and the first with serious issues. Still, 20% failure rate is pretty bad.

For the price it's very basic

Well if you're a beginner this guitar is ok. If you're an intermediate to advanced player it is absolute carbage. I was fooled by myself. My brother bought another harley benton electric guitar I think an sc model around 260euros which is amazing. I should have bought another HB model. I will probably use this guitar as a decoration.
