Best value: Poor
Made in the United States of course, Micro Fischer, no adjustment.
The one I have is natural sounding dew, it is much more beautiful than the illustration of Audio fanzine!
Launched in the forties it costs 45 dollars hence its name.
Form round the old bluesmen the shoulder called the horse, (the working horse.)

UTILIZATION

Channel end, very nice touch, the sound comes out with force and distinction, very high definition, excellent balance.

Rather light, ergonomics is perfect (for a non-cutaway model).

SOUNDS

It lends itself to country blues and folk accompaniment like no other!
Low stifled (as Lightning Hopkins style damp) very dull and percussive, for solo treble with excellent sustain.

In agreement, power, precision, every note is well defined (see Dylan in his debut).

In walking bass and well rounded and full (Listen to John Jackson).

OVERALL OPINION

I have the last six months. Its price is high, I think it is justified, the choice of a Gibson is not insignificant anyway.

I also have an old washburn made the United States, with almost the same characteristics, I like it and it cost me four times cheaper, but it does not compare.
