Value For Money :
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 to the SFX 5 is the integrated 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 gloss natural color, very pretty appearance, it is a beautiful guitar, really!<br>The varnish was a bit 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 big guitar, so she is comfortable<br>The neck is comfortable and glides well, it is lightweight, good ergonomics, shaped like a small jumbo, very nice guitar for the price, sold generally between 380 and 420 €<br><br>As for the sound 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 of better strings to fit .. . I am interested)<br>But it is not done yet.<br>Easy access to high notes due to the concave cutaway and low thickness (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 newness of the guitar and strings and I found that the agreement holds.<br>Good single strap fastening.
SOUNDS
With amplification all sounds seem possible, we can go to an accurate rendering of its sound 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
