Guild JF-48E

Brand amricaine but Gad MODELS are made in China.
MODEL anticburst is my acoustic and simple.
The finish is good trs, no rats on the frets, not a bad opening.

UTILIZATION

The weight and shape of this guitar is my opinion in the standard. I tried a Taylor in the same price range, it seemed Trslgre ... On the Guild, the handling is easy, the volume of the respectable body (we do not Jumbo big anyway.) Concerning the treble, it does not pan shot but when you do not intend to scratch his solos, has not essentiel.La FIRST TIME I have tried in a noisy store and after moult other guitars, I found the sound gnial.Ayant ordered, I reu few months later, and the sound I appeared on the spot a little too bright (I originally Takamine G320). This sound seemed impeccable for all types of play without mdiator. Today I realize that even the game at mdiator trs is good. It is just the sound of diffrent dreadnouth such as GAD50.
Apart from a treble out as well as serious, it is clear trs, it is not touff.Le handle is enjoyable but the ds mimine left sweating begins, has really become so pnible a grip. Faili find it much default all the same.
Regarding the handle, it should be noted also that the rglage Nut makes the game the top of the handle pnible enough (to play a BMOL If it's a bit hard ...)
I do not know if this guitar is the best that is on the market 900 euros, a simple sound. I tried a Takamine, Taylor two, a Fender (I tried the AIM Seagull), but in any case, I do not regret my choice at all. In simple acoustic, I can only advise.
Note also, and trs important dernirement I changed the strings of origin for EJ16 D'Addario. The sound is compltement diffrent .. mieux.Il do frieze in addition, it is well-typed blues my taste, sheer bliss.

SOUNDS

My styles: Latin and reggae from Mr. Lavilliers, arpges, Varita and Blues. The sound goes well trs. It is richer than a dreadnough much more crystal-clear.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using two quattre and so far nothing wrong

Look at the manufacturer's website. Purchased in November 2006. China Manufacturing
Mine is sunburst the most beautiful effect, even though I prefer the guitar a more traditional look
Péampli no tone controls and without tuner

Exudes quality.

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice, this is certainly the quality of workmanship is excellent. And finishing as
Access to acute difficult because no cutaway and it's a jumbo! But who actually plays over the last 5 boxes? Not me anyway!

Not high weight compared to a guitar without a preamp, but very good balance. Note the absence of location to attach the strap next to the handle. Must be used to "lace"! What is not top and does not feel safe when playing standing up (note: I always play sitting in view of my age -47 years).

The guitar was well set from the outset, highly polished frets, no buzz! etc. is improtnat because if a guitar is set incorrectly, the work at hand can sometimes be important. Dou's interest to try the guitar before!
I also played some guitar dan the store brand and MARTIN on 3 identical guitars, none had the same sound or the same ease of play! Figure it.

SOUNDS

In fact I had a favorite by catching this guitar at my usual dealer. A very sweet sound, deep. Of real serious! Acute soft pearls, but not intrusive. Excellent gameplay.
When one takes a guitar at a lower level, that's all right if we want to play.
I said that my level is close to the beginner, but it's not a reason for sounds rotten!
I would even say the opposite. The higher the level, the lower the quality of the guitar is important
I play occasionally with a ROLAND AC60 amp (excellent indeed and very handy and versatile)
ROLAND controls compensate for the lack of adjustment on the preamp of the guitar. Anyway, the settings on the preamp are mainly used to compensate for a lack ... If everything is there présetn home!

OVERALL OPINION

I play for 6 months. This is the best guitar I got. It must of course be other guitars but at what price! I also tried a Guild type 000 is also made in China. Excellent, but no preamp ...

I have owned other guitars: a takamine 220 taka and a 12-string Series G + LAG automnia a small model (type 000) + 1 Admira classical
What makes the difference is the level of serious and vibrations emanating from the guitar, felt physically very elegant. And excellent playability

Obviously this model is not given. € 990 bought new with wooden box

I put 8.5 / 10 because it takes into account the price paid and that there are other guitars much better

Sure, it's an important award, but when you see the U.S. model to € 2000 +, you do not ask, because the quality and sound are there for a price difference "abysmal"! !!!!!!

I certainly do it again this choice or I will go on a smaller guitar (there are at GUILD!) Because it takes the whole trunk of my car !!!!!!!! But there are no free lunches!
