My budget foray into a 335 style guitar arrived this morning, was making a rattling noise and it appears the switch is inside the body... easy fix hopefully and have contacted Thomann about their QC... apart from that it looks stunning, finish is really nice!

Yeah looks great! This is the colour I'm thinking for a Thinline Caronita build, or maybe a little darker.

Ordered on the 20th and shipped the same day, arrived here today (30th), 10 days from Germany is pretty decent in this current scenario!

It's very............pink.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Update on the Harley Benton, plays great, the pickups are pretty decent, bit more grunt than I'm used to with the strat so might have to get another mini boost to run with it to keep gain levels similar, but apart from that I'm really impressed, plays really nicely out of the box!
