    I remember reading on the site that although they cap it at €50, they will do something appropriate for you should you go out of your way to help and review more than that.
    Although I've heard that if you just re-register using a different email address, you can kinda start all over again. Many many times.

    Is it B stock because they put too many strings on it?

    Is there enough wood on the Thomann tele headstock to get it to the correct shape?

    EXACTLY what I'm wondering... Probably not enough of an issue to be a deal breaker though. I suspect that merely by rounding off the point near the tip I'd get close enough.

    I ordered the B-30 BK acoustic bass (decoration) http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_30_bk_acoustic_bassdeko.htm at same time as the S-600 VI for the challenge (it saved me a tenner on postage), and it has just arrived.
    Straight out of the box, all I can see wrong with it, is that there is a fair bit of fret buzz at around frets 3-5 when fretting each string up to that point; not sure if fret dressing will sort it out, but it's not been tuned yet so it may come out a bit under proper tension.  Will update with what I find out....
    Vox 24, Variax 700, Epiphone Dot Studio (Cats Whiskers pups, custom inlay, custom pickguard), Gretsch 5238T (P90s/B3), Gibson Les Paul Zoot (rainbow), Gretsch 5135 PS, 'Graick' G2312TVR, BarileleBo (electric baritone ukulele G6199).

    I've had a reply from T.  Their Marketing dept are now considering it.

    I'm now in email discussions with Thomann's marketing department.  Bottom line is that they are happy to support the challenge.

    I'm discussing the form that the support might take with them via emails now.

    :)
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.
