Made in Indonesia

Preamp with volume and tone controls

The main particularity of this guitar is its wood (but I don't know what it is)

Mine has six screws at the 19th fret. I wouldn't call it precision work

In spite of its 30 years and some wearing marks it aged very well

It looks beautiful

Grover machine heads...

UTILIZATION

Very pleasant neck.

Very good access to the upper frets in spite of the six screws mentioned above...

Standard folk guitar shape

SOUNDS

I only play it unplugged. The guitar sounds quite loud

I never tried to plug it.

It's only good for blues

And it's perfect for me

Very present lows and mids... It's my ideal acoustic sound

It always sounds fantastic both fingerpicking and with a pick and even if you hammer the strings

It doesn't sound good for pop and modern music styles (not enough high-mids and highs) but that's not a problem for me

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for about two years.

I like the fact that it's a unique guitar from a brand that you don't see very often

I bought it secondhand without trying it out before...

I play it every day since and I won't give it away

I'll cry if it ever gets lost

If I find a second one anywhere I'll buy it

I'm very happy with my purchase.
