Ibanez RG450DXB-WH

I recently purchased this Ibanez made in Indonesia. However, the guitar had several quality control issues that weren't checked by Ibanez or Thomann!

The guitar has fret buzzing and a couple of frets are noticeably above the others. For anyone considering this guitar, be prepared to invest extra time, money, and effort into setup and correcting what should I've been in done in factory (or by Thomann).

The pickguard arrived dirty, one of the corners was crooked, and there was a woodchip underneath it. This caused a permanent gap between the pickguard and the guitar body that shouldn’t exist.

Unfortunately, buying a guitar these days feels increasingly like a gamble, regardless of its manufacturing origin or price. However, I wasn't expecting this also from an Ibanez.
