UTILIZATION

Handle very pleasing: the fingers glide well, almost as well as on electric.
The neck is relatively thin.
Very good ergonomics for small jigs and I would say same for women. This may be the form of lightly Grand concert less fat than the Dreadnought.
So, no amp, it may be lack of power.

The sound is very balanced between medium rather acute and severe (when you buy, I tried several guitars including a Takamine which ignores very bad balance ... like what, major brands are not always good products).
The treble is not "shrill" sound is not "metal".
Writ drlement sounds good, it's a pleasant listen guitar.

Last Day after 5 months of use: this guitar sounds just as good, but I prefer the strings of origins (of Adario EXP bronze) Elixir strings. Each note is a DLIC listen vibrate. The G string (which I do not know why a tendency to vibrate badly on many guitar) sounds very good here.

SOUNDS

In acoustic guitar is not super powerful (format ...) but this has some advantage vis vis the neighbors.
We recognize that wood is a hardwood. It sounds more balanced than the plate (I do not know how dcrire has otherwise).
I tried several guitars at the same time up to 600 euros all plated and there is no comparison.
Compared with SFX10 Cort, the handle is more pleasant, quicker on the Parkwood and the sound seems pure as the Parkwood on SFX10, the sound is very "mtallique.

In electro: the rglages are very numerous and are obtained very good sounds more crystalline. The amp Fishman deserves its good reputation.

I am not 10 for power but a ct is quite logical since it is not a model that has Dreadnought.

OVERALL OPINION

It has been 3 weeks since I use it and just yesterday, I remarked that it enabled me to move stuff impossible to pass on my old Yam. My fingers do not suffer too much.
She is thin, the neck is pleasant, she is sober and well finished, it has a nice sound very balanced super pleasant listen (a simple agreement pleased to hear).

To you women who are looking for a good guitar fits our little fingers .... Well, nevertheless have the body remains that of a sound and right shoulder still tend to suffer a bit in the sitting game.

I tried 7 other models on the day of purchase, Cort, Takamine and more. None of them really turned me on and I will begin to leave without dsesprer guitar ... then my luthier me that the contribution APRS my comments and criticisms on Premire. (It's a real board!)

Report qualitprix: list price: EUR 1200. I got 950 euros. At this price, no equivalence. We do not find it anywhere, but there are often discounted on the net.
The guitar is soft cover book with molton of very good bill.

Cort has very good reputable in the manufacture of guitars and many brands are making their Cort guitars (Fender, Ibanez ago ...). APRS my maker, the equivalent of this guitar Fender would be more than 2000 euros.

Is what I would do this choice: Oh yes! It's pleasant to play with this guitar!

Modified after 1 year 1 / 2: Yes, I would do this choice! The only small "default" is a sleeve a little too sober my taste. Dco J'auraisbien liked a little on the fingerboard ... In short, is that the esthtisme.
