The color is a little honey and it tristounnette aurra liked some decorations to the Ovation, but considering the price.

The guitar is well finished.

UTILIZATION

I bought this guitar (discontinued) in my local shop in Marseille (Music Shop) on a thunderbolt in one quarter of an hour.

The handle is magical. All my friends who tried my guitar fell in love immediately. It is immediately at the handle (almost IRTH handle of a guitar). It is indefinable.

The access to the treble is very easy with the cutaway.

The original strings lasted 2 years. Even new strings Adamas did not match the original strings (I'm also looking for brand celle_çi).

SOUNDS

The acoustic sound is full of harmonics. All the subtleties and nuances of the game are broadcast on guitar and inevitably, a possible lack of precision by means of a musician too. So it's a little guitar can tolerate not recommend without some technical mastery of the guitar (not for beginners).

Pure acoustics, it has slightly less power drawn from a box bulkier (more traditional).

The preamp has a very precise tuning of high quality, delicious.

Plugged into an amp for quality electro-acoustic, it presents a sound with a substain near a mini-chorus, very nice. Also connected on a Vox amp Tube, the sound is nickel.

OVERALL OPINION

The price is obviously a very strong points of this guitar has a really excellent price / performance ratio.

I have since 2004 and a half hours after purchase, a friend was in the store, asked for my opinion by telephone and immediately bought the last copy available in stores.

Another friend, after having tried, but all sought a more availability. It took the replacement model but it is not exactly the same in my view: the marks on the neck are less well finished and I find the sound perhaps a bit less accurate.

Personally, I compose all my songs (any style) on it and I also play all styles on: folk, classical, picking, bossa, jazz, blues, rock, pop.

Anyone who tried this guitar have been seduced away: a handle so comfortable and it's so accurate, complete, that is played with fingers or pick.

An exceptional model then, but now found ....
