Right out of the box, massively sharp fret ends. There’s no way they didn’t see this from the factory. Second, the absolute trash tuning stability. I’ve run through every single possible setup step, lube the nut, set up trem to perfect level, block the trem if needed, and it was still awful. Absolutely no way this is acceptable from a guitar this expensive. I’ve played squiers that have better tuning stability. Pickups had no travel in them whatsoever. But, the guitar does feel very nice besides the fret ends. That’s pretty much all there is to say that’s good about it. I was told to contact charvel, and then I sat on hold for 25+ minutes and they hung up on me twice. Ridiculous.
