Well I hate the reversed headstock....I feel it's an afront to left handed guitarists...kind of a reverse snobbery. A cultural appropriation of sorts! Yeah I know I'm over-thinking it! To be fair I've never owned this guitar so cannot personally review it. But I'm surprised that all the youtube reviews are positive. I distinctly remember several folks being underwhelmed with this guitar when it first came out. My impression was that quality was flaky on that model. I love your point ! First, I was not fan of reverse head stock either, cos' when I wanna tune my guitar, I wanna see my freakin' tuner. But, when you wanna go to some drop down tuning, you stard changing your mind about those reverse headstocks

Some folks like the reverse headstock cos the tuners fall into your hand nicely. My painful shoulder certainly prefers it ... but that untreated fretboard and thin neck is a no from me.

The first TE70 had really bad manufacturing flaws like
* misaligned bridge * sharp and faulty screws (bridge)
You can see them clearly in the reviews (can´t remember either Bonedo.de or Amazona.de) in the pictures although the reviews were positive.
They seem to be quite heavy as well - at least the first ones.

Roswell pickups aren't that bad, the ones in Baritone 7 are awesome.
The problem is that Thomann decided to use LAF/HAF pickups for pretty much all their models. Tried out HAFs in CST-24T and I was pretty disappointed, old Wilkinsons were much better. But a set of IronGear pups fixes that.
