UTILIZATION

# At first glance, the guitar is beautiful, the woods chosen seems honorable qualities for the range of the guitar
Closer, finish defects appear (hair brush in the varnish, a resin sealing many:
Body-neck junction
Another worst-to hide poor bonding of the button on the handle on all the lower part ... it scares the long term)
the handle was poorly sanded, soft toys of wood is walnut veneer in short we begin to understand that she has been instrument case.

Nut and bridge # unadjusted (very bad point for the saddle too high original). It is common in many brand.

# After adjustment, the guitar has verged many places and for good reason: Some frets were badly placed, one at issue marry the wrong curvature of the handle. I've never seen it in competition!! especially at this price.
Add to this the wrong frets sanded and cut.

It's a wonder how the guitar has got through quality controls.

SOUNDS

The wood has chosen gives this guitar sonoritées hot, the projection is excellent. brief despite the flaws, I admit that the sonoritées is really good, it's safe and sound is very pleasant.

Connected, ca is the electronic gate, really poor. metallic sound that does not really reflette the sound of the guitar. I did not like the preset system (a switch should be cheaper than 4 or 5 knobs, here is the end of the story). The choice of two batteries button more than questionable (This is especially unusual in coucert, more battery, impossible to find one unless you have jumped the gun ... a 9V battery is much more common)

OVERALL OPINION

I used it 10 months, I saw a few weeks after the defects.
I tested the SAV that my LAG is simply planning on a new instrument! (So ​​the frets had not moved and was still ill-posed)

Despite two French Manufacturing LAG in my possession, I was taken to a pigeon with the Chinese model so I have no confidence at all in this brand that has done little during the SAV to be excused. revenyer me a new instrument without default would have been the least of it. especially for an instrument has more than 500 €.

You turn to brands and more serious fly Chinese models followed without quality

In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...) How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration and what type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...) what are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch. ..) and what type of race? * France Bédarieux.

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice? Access to acute (last string) Is it easy? Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)? Gets it easy to sound good? * ...

The guitar is very light which is very significant. The handle is good and there is no particular difficulties.

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music, with what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play? What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",.... ) What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? *

Question pure acoustic to play arpeggio is perfect but in agreement struck, there is too much difference between the bass and treble. The bass is excellent but the highs are too flashy, too metallic for my taste. Make-chord and you'll understand.
As I have nothing to say electro is good.

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it? What thing do you like most/least about it? Did you try many other models before getting this one? What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? * ...

I bought the jumbo model on the internet and during the delivery I was shocked by the lack of finish of this guitar. A crack in the back and cardboard shims under the saddle to prevent the cords curl, the chipped nail polish on the handle. I put this under the supplier's account and I did not keep the guitar.

Then I decided to emphasize and give me the 333 Dreadnought electro but what was my surprise when I realized that there were drips of varnish on the table and dust embedded in the varnish. There were even differences of color polish. There is a real problem finishing this series Tramontana.

It's not very serious stuff. I had heard so much about this brand that I trusted all the specialists.

If I can give you some advice, do not listen too specialists.

To forget this disappointment with LAG I just offer me a Cort. I'm in heaven. The finish is beautiful and the sound is pure happiness. I own a Taylor and a Guild and the Cort has nothing to envy these two brands. There are even points where it is higher, and for a price two or three times cheaper.

I hope the problem I had with the north wind will finish on time and that it is a series that was conceived too quickly.
