OVERALL OPINION

Before succumbing this guitar I tried all models comparable store, often more expensive but so good.
I do it again this choice.

The previous opinion is wrong, it should certainly not be the same guitar fab.regnaut described.

Only the table is massive (a guitar any massive € 350 ??!!! If you find one, call me as soon ...). It's not cedar, but the spruce (it's true that the gold coating may be wrong), back and sides are sapele plated (a variety of African mahogany).

The guitar is made in China, I copy / paste the manufacturer's specifications for the lag 200BCE:

• Table Solid spruce (spruce)
• Nets edge body and maple fingerboard and rosewood
• rosette inlaid precious wood
• sapele back and sides
• Mahogany
• adjustment bar handle two-way
• Mechanical precision with ivory buttons
• Talon carved original Lâg
Bridge and fingerboard • Indian Rosewood
• Nut and bridge resin New Bone
• Four Plus Preamp Shadow (on models Electro)
• Controls: Volume, EQ 3-band semi-parametric
phase inverter
• Finish: natural satin gold

UTILIZATION

* Goodies:

The baby jumbo shape with cutaway is handy. Also I find very harmonious curves, while rounded cutaway, arched back etc. ...

The nets are maple, it changes the usual pieces of plastic that can be found even on very high-end guitars.

The satin finish is very thin and it really gives a hit very "woody" and natural to the instrument.

The handle is very nice, satin a sensation of speed. Access to acute is exemplary for an acoustic.

The system for attaching ropes around the bridge is original and very practical.

There is a fastener for the strap on the heel of this guitar
* Cons:

Mechanics!! they are really rotten, the buttons are white plastic hollow spot with the rest of the instrument, they held two months before the mid knob serious cracks and breaks net. I have since changed for KLUSON.

The varnish is thin, thin, it flakes everywhere, like dried egg white.

The wood of the table could be better selected, there are some knots here and there ...

The original action of the guitar unplayable.
By bringing the guitar to my luthier, we understood why the action was too high. Lag in fact makes the same stands for the acoustic and electro-acoustic. Or thereon, the micro is placed in the bridge, just below the nut. The stem of the microphone then raised the nut of about 4mm ... Few strokes of chisels on the bridge and moves files on the saddle of the guitar and is thereby transformed.

The frets are leveled, there was still worse scratches coarse polishing frets when I bought this instrument. It is very unpleasant sensation as when you play the strings hanging, like a fingernail on a blackboard

There are multiple traces of glue on the threads white maple ...
It must be very careful with these nets precisely: I have a habit of occasionally putting the lemon oil to clean the rosewood fingerboard of my guitar. Big mistake! Lemon oil has been absorbed by the net edge touches that are yellowish or blackish since most of the cells used.

The system for attaching ropes around the bridge, convenient yes, but fragile force to move the strings in the attachments rosewood, in recent wear and holes become larger especially at lower strings spun.

SOUNDS

Where this guitar is the least comfortable: the sounds.

It really is not powerful, but this is normal with respect to shape baby-jumbo. It sounds very little, the sound projection is non-existent. It does not feel any vibration when you glue the instrument against you and you are playing ...

The sound is very muffled in the treble, there is no, but really no depth in the bass. The top fequences medium are those best represented. The sound is very typical "pot", so forget the bewitching rhythms and ballads crystal.

The Four Plus Preamp Shadow, although quality can not change the tone of this guitar. It still allows to add a little low and to find a more suitable when plugged.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 2 years. I knew what to expect (except for the fragility of the varnish anyway). Anyway at this price, there is no miracle (365 €).

After the change of mechanical and modification of the nut, I must say that I have rarely played acoustic guitar as comfortable: template, round ...

They are perfect for use as I am: Acoustic Guitar "apartment"
