UTILIZATION

We do not have here a high-end guitar, the price reflected the quality of the preamp and finishes that are not those of Lag. And despite a mechanical quickly go out of tune (it's not disastrous either), this little guitar is very nice. I find it very very good and very pretty. It is smaller than a dreadnought folk prefer him as a cover for Classical Guitar 4 / 4 because it might go for a swim in a pouch for folk.
This model comes in a dozen colors, I chose white, it gives it a pretty and original class. It has however some specific issues that are not found everywhere. The first tuner, it is relatively accurate thanks to the small screen that lets you see a needle swinging fiddles while we mechanics. Then his head which gives it a streamlined aesthetics. There is also the possibility of connecting to an amp or through a conventional jack, not an XLR, microphone type (I have not seen a difference a connection to another). It is light, his body is smaller than a jumbo which it is shaped. The game is easy, hand glides well and shape cutaway allows access to "very sharp" but I've never played beyond the 12th fret.

SOUNDS

This model is well suited to my style. I'm basically the rhythm and arpeggio accompaniment of singing (Brassens Dutronc Thiéfaine ...). When empty, it sounds good, sound is very round, even a little muffled and sufficiently powerful. Plugged it fishing. Of course, the amp is not a fishman, do not expect to sound like hell on some transcendent or Ibanez Ovation, it does its job, namely amplify the sound of the drum through its micro piezo . Overall the sound spectrum does not suffer. We can always find a more worked with amp settings: reverb, chorus, etc..

OVERALL OPINION

I own several guitars and I bought this one 2 years ago to carry around without fear of carrying too beautiful guitar. But I fell in love almost as I bought a second, her twin sister, red (which I have since sold). That tells you how she seduced me! Despite its extremely affordable price (139 euros Sonovente, retailer of the brand that offers a range of models), and the poor image which suffers from the brand Stagg purists, it clings to this little guitar. You want to take him on vacation to take her in his arms because she is really beautiful (yes I know I already said). It is a pleasure.
