Received my GT102 a couple days late, no fault of Glarry, and the guitar was actually playable out of the box after tuning. As an old retired music and guitar teacher, I did sand a few sharp fret ends and retouched the bridge. Adjusted truss rod and sanded down the plastic saddle to achieve my personal preference for string height. Overall ,the roundback gt102 is nice looking and decent sounding...exceptional, considering the $109 price. I've owned several of the 1960s and 70s model Ovations and this copy is very close to some of the original...maybe not the quality wood and finish, but definitely worth the price for such a nice replica. Unlike some of the negative reviews I had read online, I think most will be satisfied with this guitar. I recommend it, especially if you can do very basic set-up on a guitar!
