This just arrived less than an hour ago. I'd heard lots of good reviews and a few that were negative, but it's an Amazon buy so I figured I'd take a chance and return it if I wasn't happy. Most reviews talked about the stainless frets and sweetly rounded fret ends and excellent overall finish. Both true, at least in my example. I'm very impressed. I was a bit concerned because the neck specs were like .81" at the first fret and .83 at the 12th, and I'm not a skinny neck fan, but I thought I could live with it if the fretwork was great. Either one could have been a deal breaker and I'd send it back. To my surprise and delight the neck is not at all skinny. Felt good in the hand and when I measured it I got .88" and .93! Not sure why, but it's just the way I like them. Came out of the box with a low action ( 4/64 & 3/64") and no buzzing or high frets.
A couple negatives are a jack plate clearly meant for a curved surface mounted on a flat and the string spacing at the bridge is a bit uneven. Given how good the neck and the finish is I'm glad to deal with those.
The Korean made ceramic pickups actually sound pretty decent too.
They say the body is carbonized mahogany.
