Claudeze « The original ... »
Published on 12/04/12 at 14:14Say again what has been said, I would like some clarification on this guitar I have.
This guitar is imported into France by four official distributors (see site Maton) and the price is currently the cheapest in Europe in France.
For the moment, because this guitar just change this summer (I wrote to Maton): it is only cosmetic, but the head is now adorned with the logo in maton pearl insert, plus an insert kangaroo . The table now has a yellowish tint (like the new 2012 TE).
For violin, there are quirks for this award: full polish (the handle is not treated separately from the body). Head with very low inclination and heel reported (less wood). Varnish handle not very fast, a bit "sticky", but it is polished with the game
UTILIZATION
The handle is nice, but I've seen better profile and finesse (I mostly seen worse). Varnish not very slippery. Form, contrary to what is often said, is not an OM (Orchestra Model, thus derived ratings Martin). It is a mix between a dread and OM. The size is that of OM, the thickness of this dread. the form of a mix 2.A rather unique. Quite light.
Quality spruce table is remarkable, very fine satin varnish (a good point).
"Maple" Queensland has nothing in common with maple, mahogany is a pseudo (he was also supposed to replace locally). It is very close to the African mahogany in appearance and sound very similar to mahogany in general. Despite the depth of box, no excessive bass, beautiful mids and an average volume. Mine is set rather low origin to the point that a lot of notes curl around into play supported (this is not a problem and inaudible finger and electro) Can not drop the nut flush is already daisies.
SOUNDS
At first, it looks like a sound trivial, then after a few minutes, one tames the guitar and there is another matter. You get what you want from it but we need to get it. Subtlety and nuance, balance. No "loudness" as rosewood. This is really a guitar part.
Once connected, it is the absolute slap. No other sound is connected has given me such pleasure: no need to tamper hours the amp settings and guitar preamp, it sounds incredibly well. the addition of micro color box gives superb acoustic and achieves percussive stunning quality (I have other guitars with dual microphone, but nothing to do, in general it is better to cut completely micro box to not ring pan and percussion blah ...)
Very little feedback, even with the microphone open box.
I had a mic cables concerns that affected the cash internally and vibrated at certain frequencies. A little tinkering in the rosette and it's done. I think putting small pieces of foam around the place cables to be quiet.
OVERALL OPINION
An original guitar, versatile character but worth a little effort (only sound). Connected, the fun is endless.
I have a lot of guitars (mostly format OM) Martin, Furch, Taylor ... All are easier to play, offering a pleasant sound faster but all are quickly overcome as they fit in, and sometimes become tedious .
The warder, no.
