So after a lot of research (getting information on a guitar from a Korean) and negotiation (Koreans love to bargain), I bought this guitar for 500 000 Won (approximately R3350). It's rather heavy, but it plays great! Took a friend of mine along for a opinion and he likes it as well. Played it through a Marshall Valvestate and it really worked well. The guitar the guy had in the store had a faulty knob and I showed it to him. Embarrassed, he ran to the back and brought me a brand new guitar. Also got a ton of free goodies as this is the Korean way of trade (buy something big and you are showered with gifts!) Here are the specs:
