It "Manufactured in China" (as many of Fender acoustic and I stress the word "sound" because the Mexican Fender Mex remain) but you do not brake: THE FINTION IS EXTRA! Any manufacturing defect, frets impeccable ', well adjusted and so on.
Hey, speaking of the frets on the Fender site, it says "20 Medium Frets" and has 22 ... Should I write for Fender guys quit booze at home during the hours of work ^ ^.
Finally, if not, is that the bon.Chevalet, microphone preamp is ok.
The only thing that prevents me from putting 10 is the lack of built-in tuner.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice, both Ibanez and Cort.
Access to acute, not great but it's a bass. ^ ^
Now for the black point: usability.
I expected a low light and using it.
Balance is his weakness ... It stings the nose hard enough. (But not insurmountable c qd same annoying ...)
The sound is easy to obtain. (Especially acoustic ^ ^)
SOUNDS
The main reason for my purchase is to carry the sound of a bass.
Vs can never be replaced by an electric bass guitar acoustic counterpart.
The sound is very round, no tone control.
I frankly sound, amplified sound like.
For cons, the strings are pretty "special" low and taking the bronze rape fingers.
In four months, I will change to better.
OVERALL OPINION
I have since early June 2008. (Must say that I am waiting since March ...)
Frankly, the delivery time is annoying (it's not Thomann is a guitar magazines in Brussels), giving a taste of Rickenbacker that some wait years.
Most:
I love the sound and good finish (even made in China it is still designed in the States), it is nice.
the -:
Balance (nothing catastrophic, but still annoying).
Delivery.
Price.
Clearly, a good and beautiful instrument, it is worth its price, but perhaps not the wait.
If I could get one quickly, I would do this choice. (Or, the side Ibanez ...^^)
