Against my better judgement I took a gamble and bought a Jay Turser JT-133 from a seller with a great feedback rating on eBay. It feels pretty good, looks sweet (darker than in picture) and I like tone for what I'll be using it for, which is around the house and as an alternative to the tele I generally play.
The only potential problem I can see is the way the nut is set in the neck. On the high E side the wood is actually carved deeper so the nut sits further in. It seems instead of filing the nut it was decided to cut into the neck- which seems crazy to me.
The notch is about 1/32" to 1/16" deep and at an angle down towards the body. Hopefully the pictures show up.
Will this affect the stability of the neck? Is this something that should be addressed as a warranty against defects issue. Or is this just what you live with when you buy a ES-335 copy from China for $220 shipped to your door?
Here's a link in case they don't show up:
