Good affordable acu-electric, needs some TLC on arrival. Fretspreds is manageable to fix, because wood shrinks when not dried correctly before assembly (take note Harley Benton). But, in hindsight Europe is quite dry in the fall/winter, so I guess every brand has their share of shrinkage. But, if qc correct, it could be fixed, but get it, it is affordable and by doing it yourself, you learn something on the way, so both educational AND affordable. Can recommend if you are on a budget, because efter the TLC, it seems to be as good as any other brand.
