OVERALL OPINION

This is my second acoustic guitar (an old Vantage used in the early 80s that has a bass drum, a bass sound so fantastic - I'm bassist ...). I formed a band in 2009 (a singer and me ...) where I played the guitar. Then a guitarist (finally) arrived and I could hold bass. I still play the acoustic and electric guitar on some songs, especially when I sing. So I can give actual notice.

The good side: Mild, pleasant, good original sound (plugged into my sound through a DI, the sound is remarkably smooth in both attack), good mechanical take good note, knobs, EQ and tuner efficient, consumes little battery, beautiful, solid, good finish, very resistant to weather and trimballage at concerts and sudden temperature change (Home> Car> Road> concert hall, summer, winter, etc ...) very balanced, very nice handle, easy to play, Acute available for this type of guitar.
The bad side: The body is narrow sound (guitar not plugged in) is relatively low and especially his little low. Saturates the sound if you tap too hard strings (note the passion on some tracks). That's it!
There are similar and cheaper guitars (Ibanez TCY10E) similar and very similar at the same price (AEG10E Ibanez, Ibanez AEL10E) and similar at the same price but much nicer (TCM50E Ibanez, Ovation CC24S-5 Ovation 6778AX-5 Standard Elite). But I'll keep it because since 2009 it is doing its job and it has not aged and I am not an example of prudence ....
