UTILIZATION
The guitar is light enough, it's not a big big dreadnought or jumbo. So obviously the sound is a little less powerful, but it's no surprise.
The handle is neither too fine nor too thick, it adapts very easily.
The back of the neck is not varnished, so it slides right hand, one easily Demanche.
Access to the treble is easy, I'm not going all the time but when the need arises, you can play until 14/15ème box without breaking the wrist.
Only one problem: the system preamp in the box came off after a few days. Yet I have not abused the instrument ... He was held back by a small dot of glue. It is easily repaired but good when you hear a big POC while playing you stress instantly.
Sounds on the preamp, there is the sound that suits us among the palette available each preset is different from others and focusing on one type of frequency.
SOUNDS
Perfect for playing folk, blues, rock.
The arpeggios are just beautiful, shining ca, ca flies through the air with a smoothness and precision out of this world ...
I suck at picking but the few songs I can play sound perfectly.
The treble and midrange out very well whatever the strings (Elixir or Ernie Ball) The bass does not have much sustait but it must be due to the width of the body.
In agreements, careful not to attack too dry, not to be too aggressive, you have to play with nuance!
As a group, it appears very well if we improvise on top of someone playing the rhythm
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a year now. I tried a couple of Ibanez and Takamine same range, but the sounds and the look of it convinced me.
The feature that I like most is the sound arpeggios / picking.
The quality / price seems very good, I would do this choice.
