Small guitar made simple in Indonesia
22 frets, piezo
...
there is a preamp with 3 band EQ, volume control and a amf
a built-in tuner, it can still be used
the handle is slightly curved, rather thin. appropriate for small hands!
I guess for the price the features are more than honest

UTILIZATION

To add the handle that allows comfortable playing
the guitar has a plan then cut access 17th to 19th for the most flexible possible, but why risk it?
a guitar is really light. I also find it is well balanced, and not a jumbo model.
disconnected, the sound is neutral, not sure what to do deep blues

The downside: it freeze sometimes (a little). I do not know if it's factory or if it's because I bought a little bougnée.d hence the lower the note ..

total: a small guitar easy to play. At that price we will not ask too much.

SOUNDS

I play a little bit of everything except metal and classical.
it seems at his best in the palette folk / pop and rock to accompany

I play at home with a little Vox DA5, it's fun to use with the wah. but it connects everywhere.
EQ is not bad, as he can, do not expect wonders either
it lacks a bit of heat.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it, mostly unplugged, for a year, it has not moved
Most: price, ease of use, handling. full of useful gadgets and more often, with the tuner.
Minimum: bought with a small pet 'on the table, frieze, is undeniable. especially acute.
I had not tried a lot of electro-access models in this price range. it does not hold water with "brands" but still, for an entry-level ... we try to please the customer a minimum. it's not like others.
So, knowing that I bought the guitar in Japan (very slightly damaged again) 20,000 yen, or 130 euros ... pfff ... it's really a ridiculous price ..
I'm happy with my purchase. it is 300 euros in France? This would not necessarily be the flight.
