I've been waiting for this! Based on your review, I bought the same guitar, though from eBay not Amazon because Amazon seller does not deliver to my country. They were super responsive and helpful with my questions and I placed the order on Sunday and they put it in mail on Monday morning and received it on Thursday. 84 euros with delivery.
Super happy with it out of the box, also took it to my local guitar shop for TLC setup. Heh, even the store owner was pleasantly surprised by it. The moment he took it into his hands, said it's a very interesting instrument. After he was done with it, had nothing bad to say about it (except he also said that them strings were not very good but I had him put in new lighter strings any ways). It was then when asked what it cost me and made big eyes when I told him. In his words, it was not bad at all for that price.
I had never played an instrument before, and my musical education was what I got in primary school, but I have always wanted to learn guitar, my family just never had any money for it and as an adult I was too busy. But now, I have time and money and this price convinced me to take the plunge. It's super difficult but I am determined to learn.

From Leo: Just keep playing it. I have better guitars that came at a way more dear price, but I also have a couple of cheapies like yours that I did a good fret dress, nut slot adjustment and set up and they are enjoyable to play. It is amazing how smooth bargain tuners can be with the smallest possible drop of teflon oil. Spin each oiled tuner with a power string winder for a minute before replacing the strings.

For the record, there are more than 20 factories in Asia producing guitars since the 1980s. The amount of guitar parts laying around (over stocked) is silly, hence why one can get a complete guitar really cheap. You did the correct repairs, 99% of the strings are cheap and the frets are only pressed in and the side cut off and barely sanded. 80% of the cost of guitars goes into the fret work. As long as the neck pocket and neck heal are cut correctly and fit nicely, it is absolutely worth changing springs and leveling the frets. Sometimes the nut is also an issue (cut too deep or not deep enough, it is a hit or miss). Cheap tuners are pretty common on such prices, but what i would also recommend is upgrading all the potentionmeters to at least 250K (500K if you like the pickups). All the cheap guitars i had (โฌ90 to โฌ200) hat 16K Pots, they are cheap (โฌ6 to โฌ10 each) and make a huge difference, i actually recommend chaning Potentionmeters before pickups. But very nicely done, everyone should be able to understand and self "repair" budget-/cheap guitars, because these issues (except the electronics) will happen to every guitar at some point, regardless of brand and price.
