Great instrument (poorly handled by Thomann)

WLeNoc 01.10.2021

Excellent instrument! You feel the quality right from the moment you take it into your hands. Maybe the only thing I don't like is that the bridge setup keeps the strings relatively high for my liking. My trusted luthier has already reviewed it and did what he could, but even so ... the tension of the 5th string does not convince me at all. Despite this, I am quite satisfied and it became my main axe.
PD: Just an aesthetic problem that I assume is not from the manufacturer but from the seller: It came with a one-hit mark on the fingerboard, which is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE for an instrument in this price range. Negative point for Thommann.
