«  Bluffing! »

Published on 01/15/11 at 12:20
I do not rewrite a description more.

Single precision, I have the model made in China and not the U.S..

UTILIZATION

Here the fun really begins!

The neck is super nice! I'd say it's a highway ^ ^
The original action is very interesting, and comparable to the Taylor-type 414. For my part, I took her to an instrument maker and there ... the action is almost as good as a Taylor 814! To summarize, the action is really perfect, I felt not to press the strings when I played my notes!

Obviously, access is easy thanks to the sharp cutaway. To summarize, the ergonomics of this guitar is excellent!

The sound level ... breathtaking projection! A set of Elixir strings types and light nano is royal!

on the other hand, it does not reach the grain of a Taylor 814 but where Guild is very good, it happens to give a special projection to a bevel!! The projection is really halucinante! To compare, I tried a lot of Taylor and Martin through the Takamine and Gibson, and the only guitars that had a projection as good or better were: The Gibson SJ200, The Taylor 814CE and 614CE (note that I n 've not tried the 514 and 714 of Taylor not to review for them).

Finish, meanwhile, is rather simple I think. Simpa but not the top.

Warning: I compare this guitar with great! Taylor 814ce: approx. 4000euros Store, 3300 on the net. 614ce at least paine and Gibson SJ200 in 3000euros.
In addition, the ergonomics are very personal, do not rely on an opinion, but try it.

Connected, it is rather nice but I can not give an opinion on it because it's not really my field.

SOUNDS

I find this guitar excellent to play in arpeggio, picking. To the rhythm game, I think we can do better, but not for this price ....!!!!!!

Suitable for different styles of music: Pop rock, blues (lacks a bit of grain but that's because I became require ...),... This guitar is pretty versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

Truly beautiful jewelry!

I've never seen a guitar of this quality at this price! Today, I think passing on a Taylor 614ce which is one notch above it, and then later on a Taylor 914ce which is ... wonderful! But I know what hat is that my Guild does not blush in front of these monsters and it has good reason!
