Best value: Excellent

See the information above. Despite a systematic disconnect the jack from the moment I would not use it, the battery consumption has always seemed too large.
7/10

UTILIZATION

15/08/2012:
Instrument comfortable to play, nice handle, grip the tuning, easy access to treble because of the cutaway, but it is not an instrument of shredder (I'm not, anyway).
In the long run, and it is inherent in this type of guitars and this format, the right arm fatigue on the upper edge of box, because the body is very thick.
The integrated equalizer can perfectly calibrate the color we want to give sound to the instrument when it is amplified. The problem is also sound, and I come back right after.
8/10

SOUNDS

15/08/2012:
Plugged into an amp, the sound is easy to shape in terms of equilibrium between the frequencies (the quality of integrated preamp + all you can still carve on the amp itself).
Unplugged, the guitar has a balanced natural sound, what sound projection but damn! Too many sound projection, restoring difficult nuances and dynamics that fencing is to put in his game
This is also why I sold.
Choose an instrument such as this one, it is to access multiple musical identities depending on whether or recorded amplified acoustic sound. In the latter case, I've never been able to take anything from this guitar. Its volume and huge projection made me pull my hair out every time I put in a position to check me via microphone.
Before you go bald, I put it on Ebay, and it is the joyous hours of a guy who did not seek to register, but just wanted to play at home and around campfires. There he had reason to be filled.
MA in recording setup, unfortunately she scoops a 5/10 which does not do justice to the quality and sound of violin.

OVERALL OPINION

15/08/2012:
I sold after 18 months of use, which spent the last 3 to battle to try to capture the natural acoustic sound it issued, in vain.
All the more pity that when I tried it in store, I compared it to three other more expensive it all to me confirming that the intrinsic qualities of a guitar are not necessarily proportional to the price charged.
It was the smoothest, most balanced, the one who sang the loudest (you surprise me!) With a je ne sais quoi in the sound that set her apart from the rest ... a particular kind of sound identity, much like an Ovation is recognized as soon as we hear the first chords of friction. In short, it did not offer anything and had a great quality / price ratio.
But the store is nice. The truth, she is at home (that, it will still friends), but especially in front of the home studio microphones. And this is where it was spoiled. I tried everything to capture his voice, but I always struggled with this volume and this projection that made all the attacks were widespread before the sound itself returns to acceptable standards for my VU meters. Lighten the blows of mediator, it amounted to no longer receive the shock cords without enjoying the sound quality of the instrument. In short, square the circle, and no nuance possible .. An acoustic / OFF, somehow.
I let out a little as you leave a mistress with a dog character who would have missed nothing to be an extraordinary woman ... to regret, but knowingly, to end the frustration and dissatisfaction.
So I can not kill my mistress, and I left a 7/10 on all of its services.
