The body is laminate and the ply-lines are visible through the finish. The nut and fretboard are not as finished as a more expensive guitar, but are adequate. It came with a setup checklist from Sam Ash. It appears they really did check it. The unit feels solid in my hands with good sustain.
Adults can really play it.
If you want the LP look and humbucker sound at rock bottom price, look into the E-5 Rig.
