Spots of brown paint are in the middle of the yellow area in my Les Paul.
The maple pattern is not even close to that in the photo.
Half of the guitar has a striped pattern, and the other has just circles in a maple pattern. It looks cheap like Studio/Tribute Les Pauls.
Besides, there are lots of small imperfections here and there, nothing really to care about, but still, this is the 2k + guitar.
Soundwise, it is a nice guitar, classic Les Paul charisma, 5/5 to me.
