folksong « Absolute bargain! »
Published on 10/22/12 at 07:45Super folk cutaway, solid cedar top, mahogany back and sides, b band electrics with inbuilt tuner.
UTILIZATION
Very comfortable neck, access to the high frets is easy with the cutaway. Much comfier to sit (or lie!) around and strum than a dreadnought. Fit and finish absolutely spot on.
SOUNDS
The cedar top gives it a real mellow sound, but you can play it fingerstyle and there's no great loss in clarity; even without nails. It's not a great booming dreadnought affair, but something rather more dynamic.
OVERALL OPINION
I tried lots of acoustics in this price range and nothing touched it! It's held up really well to 2 years use and is a joy to play. If you want it to sound brighter (I don't, it's fine just how it is) you could always add a bone nut for peanuts. If you see one come up on the used market at a decent price: don't hesitate. Superb value.
