A guitar like any such instrument is not finished, it needs to be tuned, you often buy it with the wrong pickup phasing, often the pickups come off, especially if there is only one piece lying around... It's Korea, there's no lub but veneer, anyway it's an instrument that if adjusted plays and satisfies, clean sound very good and I think for this price a very nice instrument for a certain type of player. The inlay is not real mother of pearl, the top could have been flamed maple. The guitar is very heavy, but light mahogany ,,, probably not, Good.
