Fretwork out of the box was immaculate on my review unit. No sprout, level dressing, and the nut (graphite) was cut perfectly for 10-46 strings. Locking tuners, a brass block bridge (string-through), and a bone nut. Despite aggressive tremolo arm dives (yes, it has a two-point trem), it returned to pitch 9/10 times. The trem arm feels stiff — not buttery like a Floyd Rose — but stable. For subtle warbles and the occasional Dimebag squeal, it’s adequate.
Would I buy it? Yes — but I’d replace the volume knob with a lower-profile one and keep a spare battery in my gig bag. Katya Y111 Custom 21
