Fender Player Plus Strat HSS SVB

i bought this guitar brand new, and it seems to have a problem with the volume knob, it had also extremely high constant white noise

besides that the guitar was really nice and good sound

i contacted with thoman guitar center and they told me to send it back,

finaly it came back with some scratches from the guitar center.. ( really disappointing from thomann) and had the same problems , i was ready to ship it back again until i had an last idea to put a DI box on it.. magically all problems solved , as crazy as it sounds the volume knob after connecting a di box worked like a charm.. i put this comment so others buyers know that this guitar does not work without di box and they will lose days without guitar to work on shiping back and forward.. happy with the guitar , Thomann could be better on service
