Wow, very impressed with this guitar. Build quality, and full solid wood, with a really good sound. I am very skeptical about youtube reviews as most are done by retailers however, this met all expectations. I did have to sand the saddle down to get the action to spec, oiled the fret board and bridge which were really dry, other than that neck relief was good. I did buy the matching case which is decent quality again for the money. I will gig this for sure.
