UTILIZATION
For folk, the Channel is fairly thin and flat and enjoyable, Access in acute rather easy.
The ergonomics are perfect, thanks to the cutaway.
This is when even a little guitar a lumberjack (Canadian?), It's not a girl in folk, but it's still quite playable. (Eg ibanez vv200ece is easier to play)
Branch, The Quantum electronics is really a baffling simplicity (compared with some fishman full of multi rglages) and you get get a good sound trs, trs natural quickly. It sounds!
SOUNDS
Guitar with lots of personality.
vacuum:
Trs sound "roots" a little dig in enough mtallique mdium ... beacoup attack.
Sound a little cowboy, to play the Delta blues .... ohh John Lee Hooker
perfect for the Rock-Blues ..
behavior on the finger is very nice too, crystalline highs and well rounded bass.
lack of a lightweight "body" in the same mdiums when. brief sound very hollow.
Nice sustain. (Including harmonics)
Branch sends the large ca. very low fleshy, bright and sharp, I love.
EQ simple but effective to easily sculpt the sound.
no breath.
OVERALL OPINION
I just buy it ..
I tried other models in stores before buying in this price range. I have long hsiter with Ibanez AW200Electro (which was worth 100 dollars more) but in the end I prfr the A & L. Aesthetics for reasons (it's stupid but a guitar you must love to play well, and j'tais love the look of the A & L), the more silent ibanez provided in mdiums, a handle easier to play, but in the end it was less personality and I liked also less sound when plugged ... and then I found it ugly .. (Even when it is much more beautiful, satin finish rather than their factory varnish shining and mcaniques dores))
In short, beautiful guitar .... excellent price quality ratio.
I think not change any time soon .... unless you buy a Martin ... (But not the same price)
