Beautiful but a bit deceiving...

I bought this as my very first guitar so I don't have that much to compare it to but I do think what I experienced with this guitar is not standard. It's an extremely beautiful guitar and I always get compliments on it from other guitarists based on the appearance alone; however, it should be reliable too. When I first received it there was some damage on the rosette and the back so I had gotten a discount and I had also bought it while it was on sale. I had bought the floor model so that's what I anticipated. There was some buzzing on the 5th and 6th strings that weren't an issue of tuning or technique and that was kind of a problem for a while. I assumed you had to tune your guitar every single time but that's what I have to do with this guitar: tune every time before I play. It might go out of tune more frequently than others as another review stated but I had nothing to compare it to so I assumed that's standard. Before a year, the neck started to warp and when I play the first string second fret it would always touch down on the third fret. And when I say a year I had stored it in really good conditions/hard case and played pretty infrequently on it. It required a full setup and after the setup, it felt so much better honestly even easier to handle it always felt a little awkward in my hands before compared to other guitars I held. I know that the setup required adjusting the nut and hammering frets from what I heard. I've heard notoriously the Fender is a brand that has lots of neck issues and that the guitars that are being manufactured during the pandemic are not being quality controlled as well and might require full setup on top of the price of the guitar which might be around $70. So please keep that in mind if you decide to purchase. I haven't tried this guitar yet with an amp so I can't comment on that.
