Access to acute is easy because of its pan coupé.Le treble is good to the last box.

SOUNDS

I play finger picking to accompany songs.
For songs with accompaniment (patch cords), I use a 12-string Takamine (EN10/12) 1994 a marvel that has matured.
Played the acoustic EN40C is quite intimate and the sound is balanced but a little low for my taste.
This guitar takes an amazing losqu'elle dimension is plugged into an acoustic amp
Carlbro acoustic or acoustic Marshall guy. I currently amplifies a Bose L1 Model II.J 'get the sound I was looking for years: the closest to the sound of the acoustic guitar, but on stage, the Bose system allows all the madness.

OVERALL OPINION

This instrument youtravel there 17 years has évolué.Un little green at first, he reaches full maturity around 2005. Before I had a Folk "Yamaha" acoustic 1979 pure electro guitar and "House" from 1995 that I sold to buy EN40C.
What I like most: The beauty of the instrument, the comfort of the game and the electro sound.
What I like least: the small projection in pure acoustics.
At the time the guitar was a little expensive but it did not disappoint me.
