It is just as amazing as it looks. I picked mine up from the Thomann store almost one year ago. It was perfect from start except of one thing. The high C was way too thin sounding for me. After I changed the strings to RS666LD I also changed the setup a bit and I just love it. It growls, it sings, it snaps. I recommend testing it beforehand. It needs very little maintenance but I do like to clean it and polish it.
