According to the instructions, the neck should actually be sealed and pre-sanded. Nevertheless, the very light maple fingerboard gratefully accepted several passes of fingerboard oil. I sealed the back of the neck and the headstock with ruby shellac.
Shadows: 1. the white binding of the body unfortunately shows fine micro-cracks at the bends, into which the red stain penetrated deeply. This could neither be scratched nor sanded away and of course doesn't look very nice.
2. the wafer-thin chrome layer on the bridge plate first rolls up a little at the edges and then flakes off in small pieces. Underneath it now shines copper-colored.
3. the machine heads in my kit turned out to be a real piece of work. Under string tension, the strings can only be tuned very awkwardly and with a lot of force. After the obligatory string change, the action of the D-string completely refused to work. Adjusting the pre-tension did nothing to change this problem.
Considering the very reasonable price, you can live with the shortcomings described (some people have a stock of spare parts at home), but it is still a bit annoying.

Everything looks wonderful.
The quality of workmanship of the body and neck of the guitar is high,
Of course, thanks to CNC woodworking technology, but still.
The neck fits the body perfectly, what more could you ask for?
Chapeau, Kirstein!

Questions about product
Question by ronald on 19.06.2021
Is it possible to play the guitar without amplification?
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
In principle, you can of course play the guitar without an amplifier. However, it should be clear that due to the very limited sound body, no particularly large sound volume or volume can be generated.
