This guitar is by no means a bad guitar, or even average. The guitar feels great to play and the Duncan Solar pickups sound great for metal and clean alike. The one critique I have mostly, is the price. After playing a Chapman Modern Baritone that I got brand new for £399, I would not be able to justify the additional price tag on this Solar Baritone especially since the Chapman has locking tuners and this doesn't. The guitar was also intonated nearly a whole semitone out of tune at the 12th fret on the G string, however this is an easy enough fix if you know what you are doing. In addition, the finish on my guitar is only flamed on one half of the body which I don't mind too much but for this price point seems like a big oversight in the factory.
Overall the guitar is good but if you don't care about the V shape, I would suggest getting a Chapman or Harley Benton Baritone as they both go for around half the price with much better specs and consistency, however the product itself isn't bad and if you don't have a problem with the specs or the issues listed, go for it.
(I also had a problem with the delivery however this is not the fault of Thomann or Solar so I have not taken this into account when reviewing)
