I just received it, so it's a contact.

No indication from the guitar or in, probably china.

Big jumbo first time that I have, my measurements: thickness 98mm heel, the rear pin 124mm, 648mm pitch re cord, 43mm nut width, string spacing at nut 35mm, 54.5mm saddle. Body width max 429mm, min 259mm, 532mm body length. Phew.

14 cases out handle, total 20 cutaway from the 16-17me so little delivered.

Easel ankles, and quaint little practice (sursièclé?) But unfortunately mechanical grover too heavy pike jumbo of sucks. But is the deal!
The strings are daddario exp, shooting 12 on educated guesses.
The handle as my epi sg pro, great for any profile.

This is not over! Fishman isys + embedded system with integrated tuner specific, usable without connecting cable (just press the suitable button), and it changes your life as it is.
The price you see the price?

UTILIZATION

Lightweight, very good balance game sitting very thick bridge is very nice'm surprised.

Better access ozégu feared that, as far as removing the strap button can not misplaced.
The handle is equally suitable thumb over that background di Meola, and little tired during repeated crossed but it's not my business background.

Low weight flat, although the frets well placed vertically deserve a little treatment on the banks of key no longer hold the tab (over the serious side than acute).
Another downside, the plastic piece floating bridge into place, she finds herself leaning forward and intonation is therefore not perfect (a tad higher than the twelfth harmonic) solution replaced part by a thicker which will straight for accurate intonation.

SOUNDS

Not connected, will upd when I know more.

Pure sound, with such a format is expected to stronger by against the spectrum is well represented, it is not dug as a dreadnought. In picking this spring well, credible.
The sound is warm, the bass is mastered, treble a hair shy, BUT it is new and it is a massive table so it will work out.
Clearly I am pleasantly surprised by the tonal balance and the volume enough for me. Moreover attacked big plectrum sends the wood without scrolling, so a good base.

The strings are high enough (space-string 12th fret serious: 3mm), but we can lower the bridge a little bit (the plastic part is already well in it) and especially tough enough for electric guitar or nylon. I think putting a downright pulling Low weight of 10 at first (maybe more!).

Once again considering the price it is uneventful.

OVERALL OPINION

I've not said as she is beautiful, simple and in good taste (I removed the pickguard ole-ole automatically!). The varnish is top, back in two parts connected with marquetry, and the wood is beautiful. This is a 2-tone sunburst vintage look great.

I'll update when I tested amp and changed bridge and strings, thank you for your reading.
In your rasps, it is the season!
