First off, thanks to the fine folks at Thomann because of whom I was able to order this guitar from Germany, all the way to India. The support team was very quick and informative with their response.
Now as for the guitar, it definitely is amazing and you will be happy with the money spent. This guitar is basically a Gibson Es 355 minus the nitro finish and the logo at the headstock. Equipped with a set of absolutely breathtaking Gibson Custom-buckers, the guitar sounds just gorgeous with a very sweet and warm tone. The neck is slightly chunkier but doesn't take a lot of time to get used to.
I personally love the satin finish of the guitar, but again it's subjective preference, and you can buff it up to a glossy finish with an hour of polishing.
Now with the complaint I have with this guitar is the wrong part used in the bridge of the guitar. And by a part, I mean a singular saddle in the bridge is faulty, and rocks vertically up and down and snaps each time u bend the string. Now the guitar sounds fine, my only gripe is the playability of it, each time u bend the string, I can feel the snap of the bridge saddle. Its an unexpected error that cannot be resolved unless i change the bridge whole. But it's a personal issue of mine and I hope none of the other buyers get to experience it.
All in all, great guitar, but sadly poor QC.
