Interesting review. I bought the Strat version and was surprised at its quality and setup. Set up a new Affinity Strat with sharp fret ends, a wonky switch and jack. The Gearit was properly intonated, straight neck, rounded fret ends no fret sprout, only one slightly high fret, a good jack, no QC issues and the sound is very Straty. Its tuners are the thing to replace but given its cost locking tuners are a good buy. It is a good modding platform. Your tele seems quite similar. In that it includes a strap and tuner, spare strings and a fun little amp, it is truly a good beginner guitar and one for modding as you advance if the setup is good at purchase.

It's seriously scary how cheap you can buy a guitar these days. With a bit of know how and some cash for upgraded parts, they're tempting.

The way you checked with the fret rocker was incorrect. You should only advance one fret at a time. In this way each fret has the position of acting as a fulcrum. You moved to the third fret which means you actually don't know if fret number three is level in relation to fret number two and fret number four. Then you moved to fret five, thus repeating the mistake. Plenty of YT videos to show the correct way. Peace.

You never play the stupid thing! What do the pi clips sound like! Amateur hour!

Uhhh…what does it sound like?😂
