Value For Money :
Excellent
Audience:
Anyone
I use this guitar for finger picking - but it sounds better being strummed.
It has a mellow tone. It is somewhat less loud than some other guitars. But it is quite loud enough.
The cool things about it are that
1. It is a prettier guitar than the Eko Ranger. The bridge especially is beautiful. And it is available for much less than the Rangers.
2. It has a zero fret. This is just excellent for someone who appreciates having excellent intonation. Which the guitar does have. The guitar has a nice feel to it.
3. It has an adjustable saddle - which makes it easy to adjust according to playing style.
The guitar is, I am pretty sure, all laminate. It's quite heavy. But it has a fine, solid, feel to it.
The sound projects better now that I've replaced the original plastic pins with good quality brass ones. I am amazed at the difference in sound.
Mine is not the black model, but the natural wood one. Looks great. Especially the bridge.
Specifications: (my measurements)
Nut width: 1 3/4 inch
Fret radius: 7.25 inch
Radius of (what appears to be the) original saddle: 9.5 inches
