In the photos, the product appears to have a paint finish similar to automotive paint, but it doesn't. It's a matte red plastic. If I had known, I would have gotten black, but it didn't bother me enough to return it. It's all good. It comes with enough instructions for any layman to assemble. It requires a mounting frame; I managed to adapt it with different screws, but it will be easier if your guitar has a pickup mounting frame or a pickguard. This is not fake, it's real.
