I played a 12 fret parlor. It was all Sapele (or at least looked like that). I believe all solid wood. Fairly good size for a parlor. It did have a made in China sticker on it. Fit and finish was nice (wood bindings). Played well. There were 2 there, on one the saddle was excessively high, would make me nervous about cracking the bridge, but the action was fairly low. It did sound nice for the price point; $1k. Overall, it was impressive and should be able to compete.
