The guitar arrived with a pretty good set up, no fret buzz, and still in tune. Do not let the "Made in China" label turn you away. The overall quality is amazing with a few very little blemishes on the "binding" stripe, which to be honest are barely visible and not a deal breaker. While the guitar come with a gig bag, I'd recommend changing it for a one with better protection. It is usable but it doesn't seem to offer the best overall protection.
