The guitar had a flaw that is difficult to correct. This model has strings through the body, which is a good thing. The string ferrules were so misplaced on the small E string, and the B string there is no clear path to thread the strings through the body. The other strings looked okay, but you need 6 strings to play a guitar. Action was poor, finish on the guitar was good. The neck is a bit large in feel, at the far end of the neck, and looks unfinished. I probably will return this guitar. N ...

Okay, I decided to try to fix the misplaced string through body ferrules. As a part time luthier this wasn't a difficult job for me to do. I removed the strings and bridge, my goal was keep the placement of the bridge the same, so those holes can be used again. Remove the ferrules from the back. Mine easily pulled out. I plugged the string through holes with a small wooden dowel. You may have to sand because these holes are small. Use some wood glue, and glue the dowels in place. Replace the b ...
Okay, I decided to try to fix the misplaced string through body ferrules. As a part time luthier this wasn't a difficult job for me to do. I removed the strings and bridge, my goal was keep the placement of the bridge the same, so those holes can be used again. Remove the ferrules from the back. Mine easily pulled out. I plugged the string through holes with a small wooden dowel. You may have to sand because these holes are small. Use some wood glue, and glue the dowels in place. Replace the bridge using the original holes. It will be difficult to keep your hand drill straight. Do the best you can. I drill just the holes for the big E, and the small E all the way through the body. Then remove the bridge, turn the guitar over. Line up the holes for the big E and small E. Mark the remaining holes and drill. The ferrules should now look fairly straight. You can put them back in place with a drop of wood glue. I don't like them falling out. now go back to the front of the guitar. the holes on the front should line up fairly good. If not, use a slightly bigger drill bit to enlarge. The bigger hole will be covered by the bridge and will not show.
If you have problems with the edge of the F hole not being painted, just take a little laquer, use a small paint brush and touch up the edges. I also use clear laquer to paint the necks.
I am writing this so experienced guitarists that are used to working on their guitar can follow these instructions. If you are a beginner, either have someone help you, or return the guitar for a replacement. I am still happy with my purchase.
I just bought another one, will let you know if it has the same problems.
