Made in Asia ... very well done. The varnish seems a little thick (subjective), but it is clean. Format Dreadnought Yamaha way. The top of the box is a little narrower. The shape is more successful harmony.
UTILIZATION
The handle is not large, not thick, very comfortable for small hands (46 mm near the nut), no cutaway, it is preferable to power. It is light enough, no problem getting started.
SOUNDS
Deep tone ... unexpected balance (I feared an acid tone ... the difference to "entry level" of the brand is visible on this, although they defend themselves quite well in their price range). These are solid woods: rosewood (for depth) and Engelmann spruce (softer than Sitka). Power is consistent with what is expected of a 12-string, that is to say reduced compared to a 6-string ... but that's all relative ... it has a lot of chest. With this guitar, it was a soul rather Celtic, romantic even ... we are in the beauty.
OVERALL OPINION
After four months, I am always enthusiastic. After trying the famous US Guild (three times more expensive) to have loved and abandoned for lack of means to buy, I have a good time desperate to find something I like. I tried it was in the store one day and I was very pleasantly surprised. Nothing is missing, its level and is very balanced, rather soft in nature ... it suits me. For 750 to 790 €, it's serious, including the long term.
