UTILIZATION

This is the kind of guitar you ask about the knee and balances immediately. No need to compensate, the head is heavy enough to offset the weight of the body.
The neck is perfectly flat and the gap strings / keys in the middle of the sleeve requires no effort. The cut "cutaway" can of course access to the highest notes if necessary.

SOUNDS

I play mostly in pure acoustic. The sound is a real treat and I never tire of playing with open agreements that the magnitude of the bass and treble clarity of the mix without the bouiillie you hear on mid-priced guitars. No doubt, there is a high-end guitar.
In electronics, I plugged into an SR Technology JAM 400 with a quality cable and again I am baba ...

OVERALL OPINION

I am left handed and have not had many opportunities to try several models before making my decision. I bought the deceased "left" California at Pigalle. Several top models gammme tried that day (Martin, Guild, Larrivee ...) and 814 EC wrapped me without hesitation. Subjective opinion, but it is much more beautiful than Martin, it sounds to perfection and playing comfort is incomparable.
