An excellent guitar for the money and a very good one regardless of budget pricing I would hazard a guess that OEMs of in-house brands are probably more prone to quickly switching wood types to stay within the budget than those being made for larger main brands.

This is correct. Big companies like G4M and Thomann have to work backwards with in house products. It starts with "What does the RRP need to be?" then spec and source from there. If a shipping container goes up, or wood becomes more expensive then the next shipment gets altered slightly, whilst maintaining the RRP and USPs. 

That's quite a problem for a discerning buyer on a budget. Of course it isn't illegal(what is legal/illegal any more?) but prices should reflect such things. I suspect they often dont or take a while to even though most customers aren't very discerning past price.

What's the problem? As long as the write up reflects the product that is now in stock of course.
