Sweet looking, the newer made in China version, solid spruce over molded back, very nice mahog neck, geared tuners with clear red buttons, on board passive piezo saddle pickup, volume and tone.
Differing from the previous made in Korea version, this one appears painted, not stained - no wood grain showing
Sound
:

Sad. The made in Korea version sounded good acoustically. This one has a small muted voice.
Plugged in - as expected. Pickup ultra sensitive to sharp plosive noise from strumming fingernails on strings - needs a lot of EQing.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
No Opinion
Beautiful. Smooth playing, though the string height at nut is high, height at 12th fret good. Intonation is off. The 12th fret note as fretted is quite flat compared to 12th fret harmonic.

Compared to the made in Korea version, this made in China instrument is just sad.
