It's mostly good but has some issues.

Positives
Paint finish and hardware is fantastic. Can't find a blemish on it.
Electronics all work perfectly.
The minimal finish on the neck provides no resistance, for fast movement up and down the neck.
Held tuning ok, with stock machines heads / nut work.
Not too heavy, kind of a medium weight Strat at 7 lb 6.5 oz (3.3 kg)

Issues
Fretwork not great, it needed a fret dress to get a useable action for me (2 mm / 1.7mm)
After I tightened the whammy bar springs, the bridge studs started to lift. I decided to get my tech to fix this, instead of returning. They had to be plugged, re-drilled and fitted properly.

Hopefully the bridge issue is not consistent among all of these, but I've never had a problem with Thomann taking back defective products, if you decide to return it.

I ended up upgrading the guitar to a 1 humbucker Tom Delonge style strat. The scratchplate holes lined up really close to the Fender hole spacing, so ideal for modding.

Machine head holes are 10 mm, so will fit modern style machine heads (I upgraded them to locking, for each of use)

If it didn't have the issue with the bridge, I'd have given it 4 stars.

In my case this was not a straight out of the box playing guitar: tuners were loose (easy fix), saddles and neck needed adjustment, input jack had a more pronounced angle, after string gauge change to 0.010, tremolo bridge does not keep in tune. Cosmetically, the arm rest carve transition was not smooth, to the point that you can feel it with your hand. In any case my plan is to keep and change the bridge. Also electronics but only because I want HSS config, otherwise sound is not too shabby, for 195 EUR can't ask for much.
