As some will notice, I did swap out the string trees to Musiclily Vintage Roller Guitar String Trees that I had laying around. The stock trees were good enough but I wanted something a bit more sturdy.

Just an old cat talking about guitars & life. If you like this kind of content, please consider subscribing. If you like a video, please let me know by liking videos that are helpful, informative, fun, and shareable.
This channel explores my journey with budget guitars through a mix of various kinds of videos. You’ll find boring unboxing videos, out of the box tone samples, discussions of fit and finish, features, specifications, hardware, electronics, initial thoughts, reactions, guitar work, and lots of stories.
Along the way, I'll offer my take on questions like, “Should I buy a budget guitar? “Is upgrading a budget guitar worth it?” What is the cost difference between upgrading budget guitars with the price of brand name guitars? Do all budget guitars need upgrade? and more.
Wherever you are on your guitar journey, I hope it’s a good ride for you.
Rock on with your bad selves.
I’ll catch you down the road.

That was the right way to play them. They were playing you, seeing what minimal offer you'd accept. It is likely a minor issue like a broken wire, solder or a short to ground on the neck hot lead. Worst case, the switch. One time, the slot in the control panel was not long enough to let the switch make the neck connection. In any event, you got a freebe. Any teck can solve that issue in less than 30min total

Well then if your not a luthier or a guitar tech my suggestion is to take the Monney you will received from them and get that neck pickup fix or change whatever problem is. If the guitar feels good in your hand you got yourself a great deal in my opinion.
