Value For Money : Excellent
J'voquerai few dtails often evokes about this guitar, or some features that make it particulire and not listed in catalog:

-Bad rumor mcaniques: honntement, I do not agree, my MODEL dsaccorde does not, including APRS just change string, I am rather by tonn their quality.

It affects Micarta: it will frmir certain because it is a composite ... matriau a base fabric. It's not plastic, but it's not natural for all ...
My opinion: Apart from questions of principles, the sound is l. The micarta does not chosen by chance, it is extremely dense and well led trs sound. It gets dirty much less, is less sensitive to mold or mark left by perspiration. For me it is a bold choice, which after a year playing me parat justification. They turn a russi "economy" (it's cheaper) in "innovation" with this stuff to me APRS.

-The background: I put a specially mention the quality of wood forming the bottom and wicker covers. First they are beautiful. ... Then turn the guitar. For can you play as the percussion, BYou be stunned to see the sound of percussion Bongos it. We really bongo bongo acute and severe, most super-sharp on the wicker covers. Pal percussionist can not believe it, me neither. I've realized after purchase, and it is one of the best surprises.

-The dam: it is refined. This technology allows for particulire much better sounding harmonics (almost all frtes!) Is one of the big pluss of this guitar so. Harmonics rsonnent "bottom" when we play it's magic.

UTILIZATION

Ergonomics is virile, so difficult. The guitar is in its modern CHARACTERISTICS but quite traditional in its cut, it can be for a.
It is daunting because of its chest, and honntement quite difficult to get it right, I mean it must be a pretty good guitar for the guitar really speaks (I think I be). The guitar has an average weight, the solo play is not the easiest. In short it is far less playable than taylor, not archi comfortable, although the handle is soft and trs trs perfect action on my MODEL.
It is a well made guitar trs, so obviously it's comfort, but for the price you could have the maximum comfort, a guitar "manly" So, which requires agility and strength.

SOUNDS

This guitar should particulirement folk and blues
Personally I use it in Celtic, blues, counntry, nofolk (style Andy McKee), folk, open tunings and the John Butler Trio.

The guitar is a little low to dsquilibre mdiums and bass are much greater. It is therefore of the highlights of this guitar, the bass is really bluffing. The acute ("crystalline" as all the review tell us nothing that) Obviously is good, but too clearly in the background. This is the default for this guitar, but that gives it its personality. Please note that the guitar is still not as an imbalance D15 mahogany, does not make me say what I have not said ... this slight imbalance gives it its personality.

The guitar, for reasons of jouabilit and sound, does not give its best even in the solos note for note going into the treble. Mug has its still a close to clapton unplugged album, the solo application of force, and the virtuosity is expressed in the capacity to play cleanly. Agreements for the game against rsons revle well and the quality of this guitar-cathedral, which rsons incredibly, you can feel it vibrate (not like a lawnmower eh!) Is very s enjoyable. Harmonics ring constantly and always fair, is at the foot of the trunk and rsonnance. The overall sound is warm and powerful.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for a year, her big + are the wood (especially the magnificent background to the sound of bongo), its rsonnance and bass. The -: the cot "manly" of the grip, and the shy treble.
I consider the report quality excellent price, this guitar is a real Martin.
I would do without this choice problem, I am pleased to have done my age. (22)
The guitar seems he gets better with time.

By the way traditional or modern? Well the two is his strength.
Old blues, nofolk, it goes and never breaks.

I put 9 because I won, but perfection does not exist. if you have more money you can always find more ...
