It seems strange that it is ungoogleable. It looks like it is made
like a "real" guitar, made out of "normal good" stuff... The top
doesn't look like plywood...

There's a couple of tip offs that indicate it's not what it's said to be.

It's obviously not by a U.S. shop that turns out many instruments. Any shop would also have a serial number on the label as well as in a less conspicuous spot like the head block.

Second, anyone who made an instrument in the U.S. and wanted to represent their work at a professional level would not use those cheap covered tuning machines.

Paper labels are easy to make, so I wouldn't make any judgement based on that.

Beyond that, there's no break angle over the saddle. It will need serious work in short order.
