Best value: Excellent
<p>Chinese manufacture<br>and sides Rosewood<br>Mahogany neck<br>Rosewood fingerboard 20 frets with binding<br>Fishman Classic 4T preamp with Volume / Brightness / 3 band EQ and tuner<br>Oil bath machineheads<br>Chrome hardware, except that the machinehead keys are black<br>Colour Natural with gloss finish<br>not unlike what is read here<br>it seems that the difference&nbsp;to the SFX 5 is the integrated&nbsp;tuner and more<br>of interest is the solid wood that will evolve, of course.<br>Complete and simple adjustment of the preamp box, arched back<br>Mine is&nbsp;gloss natural color, very pretty appearance, it&nbsp;is a&nbsp;beautiful guitar, really!<br>The varnish was&nbsp;a bit&nbsp;fragile on mine, maybe too new, so a big scratch on the back quickly and easily repaired though with a restoring polish (I'm a furniture restorer)</p>

UTILIZATION

Getting started is easy, it's not a&nbsp;big guitar, so she is comfortable<br>The&nbsp;neck is comfortable and glides well, it is lightweight, good ergonomics, shaped like a small jumbo, very nice guitar for the price, sold&nbsp;generally between 380 and 420 €<br><br>As for&nbsp;the sound&nbsp;it projects less than my Ibanez AEL 40 (Jumbo) acoustic and I had to change the strings for Savarez Argentines, but I'm still looking (if anyone has any ideas&nbsp;of better strings to fit&nbsp;.. . I am interested)<br>But it is not done yet.<br>Easy access to&nbsp;high notes&nbsp;due to the&nbsp;concave cutaway and&nbsp;low thickness&nbsp;(8 cm)<br>I find it a little difficult at first, compared to the Ibanez AEL 40 to which I am used ... it must be but plugged in it is REALLY GREAT, I plug in two small amps: Ibanez TA 35, and also on an Epiphone Valve Junior very simple that I love, powerful and warm despite the 5 w. .. in both cases is good, I have not tried it on my Peavey Prowler amp ...<br>Despite the&nbsp;newness of the guitar and strings and I found that the agreement holds.<br>Good single strap fastening.

SOUNDS

With amplification all sounds&nbsp;seem possible, we can go to an accurate rendering of its sound&nbsp;amplified to sounds more "worked", that being in the Fishman<br>acoustics I find it a bit limited, but is primarily an electro-acoustic<br>and frankly I think it will evolve and this "doing", it has already begun elsewhere ...

OVERALL OPINION

My choice is recent (I wanted a small guitar to carry around, Ibanez, Cort and takamine)) so my opinion could be better ... maybe I'll come back.<br>value for money is unique, I would make the same choice or would go to the FX 10 for different woods, not, matter of tone and taste .. course taking into account the price unbeatable
