This guitar was a great disappointment The neck misaligned. The neck pocket routed too much in the corners so there is empty space there between the neck and pocket. The puck guard is misaligned (toward the low E) so the pole pieces miss the strings entirely on neck and middle pups. The bridge too is misaligned. Too much toward the high e string. The back pocket where the bridge block is, is also misaligned. The hind strap lock is misaligned (not in the center line with the bridge and neck) The pickup cavity is plain wood no paint. The nut is loose (not glued) Frets are fine but few lower ones need leveling. The Paisle is not a photo on MDF but a real thin fabrics glued on top of Basswood and then lacquered. Looks very good. The pickups don't sound that good. I doubt these are true Wilkinson. They are Alnico. Will try and post some picks I did. (Forgot to photo under the PG. )

Forgot to mention; this one came without QC card. The previous SC-450 P90 came with 2 QC cards and had faulty electrics and horrendous fret work

Its on its way back to Thomann together with the Mackie CR3 monitors! Will get the new Harley Benton JA-60 OW by the end of next week (pre-ordered)! Maybe that guitar will deliver! If not then Im off to learn a new instrument!

This Scandinavian mentality just doesn't suit me AT ALL (politically correct and reserved) ... but now Im stuck here so I better bring with me to Scandinavia a pot of Shamrock from Ireland next time Im there maybe it'll work

It's a shame they let themselves down, I lost faith when one of my pots started crapping out after two months or so, I mailed and they said I didn't send a video so I lost out on any action, I paid for new pots and replaced them myself, how ,ugh have I saved them in postage, labour and postage back? I should have just sent it back and let them b stock it... so disapointed in them, however, I've upgraded all the electronics and also the jack socket too, so it's much improved for me... I gave up on them, my next guitars will be from other suppliers, who may care more about aftersales.... It's not about what you can get once, more about what repeats... least that's how I would have seen it!! I've spent too much to send her back without stripping her of her dignity.....

Yeah I agree. Thomann has grown in business and let down some of the customer service. They must learn to grow the customer service together with their customer growth.
I think I'm happy with my new G&L Fallout guitar and will give Harley Benton break for a while to see if their quality is degrading entirely or not. Now I'm sorry I sold my TE-90QM P90 because it was a fantastic guitar for little money and with adding extra to upgrade it I would have had a guitar 20x it's price!
