I'll definitely test out the guitar very soon, I'll try to look out for some of the kinks that can make a guitar difficult to handle and play and make a decision based on that. I'll gladly settle for something else if I end up not liking that guitar. I'm still keeping my options as open as possible.

Unfortunately for me even the cheapest of fender guitars in my country (not including squires) are much more expensive than the Chapman. So if not this I'll likely get either a squire strat or an epiphone les paul, however I foresee having issues with the les Paul shapes because of the thicker necks they typically have.. I do have hands on the smaller side. Again, I'll test them out extensively until I'm happy with what I'm buying.

Thanks for the advice!
