My only consolation is that the constuction is superior to vintage Danelectros and those are still playable. They're doing a good job here, for the money. Frets were finished well and the truss rod seems to keep things straight. Mine has the silver sparkle finish. Not your usual thick, high gloss finish but very cool.
Neck joint is tight and so far the switches and controls work good.
Not a great bridge but still better than a strip of rosewood. Oh yeah, for me at least. I always use StrapLok's so those have been changed. I have no idea how well the finish or plating will hold up over the long run. That depends on the player and how they play.
