I think it's a japanese manufacturing
The woods not know! am in electronics
rglage it in a possde equal. 3-band volume and tona
it is sufficient as rglage that the amp is also important.

USE

I'm not very big and I was looking for a brand of guitar, who did not hide my face (almost) in a standing position, with good access to acute and of course: that sounds.
well I found !!!
The sound ?? I get quickly, even with my old Novanex 15w, sound clear.

SONORITS

Then this is the guitar for the Idale scene at rglage qualisation and template: small and lightweight.

SONORITS

Then this is the guitar for the Idale scene at rglage qualisation and template: small and lightweight.
I'm mostly bassist on stage but we have some pieces 2 guitars and I use it connects directly without DI, amplifies the mix console (Yamaha EMX 5016CF) which is provided with two multi-effects s go and I add to it a bit of reverb and DLAY and sounds great !! it's true it's not my specialty I only accompaniment but I get a clear sound but much pushing the bass frequencies because I do not like when acute irritate the ears.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I had been to departure about a Takamine in TBE occas 3500 francs worth CHF 1,000 new again.
I tried lai few hours and I bouff fingers at his rglage blah no better. therefore not convinced that mark (that price), and any record ..
So I opt for the APX and I use it for about ten year ds that I pos fingers on the handle I won t I n ' have not cherch later, she need me and I'm left with. Admittedly c'tait a occas which was sold in 2500 francs with his rigid body so that the new cot (necessary knowledge) was worth more than 3,000 francs without cash.
So no hesitation and without even having branch !! yes it is a love !!!
To speak more Seriously, given the size of the box, it is not designed to accomplish for a large volume in acoustics, must not dreaming. But the sound is correct when same.
A cot I have what it takes to have!
But it is on stage it has its place and ensures as much.
I have not 9 everywhere because there are certainly better for connoisseurs but at quality prices, excuse me gads, but the top !! and I advise all those who make the scene and even the pros will not be due.

Does it manufactures in Asia with an industrial finish.
is to manufacture low cost, so no solid wood.
In dduction, the sound never amliora time.
Conversely remains possible, however,
This guitar is a half lambda cash like so many other.



USE

The handle n'tait not enjoyable to play.

Unless mine was a problem

For the pleasure of playing go your way.


SONORITS

I play mostly jazz, Celtic.

I do not pulled anything. she ended up in the closet

The sound was really not good. style guitar really not chre.

Although that branch is less worse than pure acoustic

NOTICE GLOBAL

I used 1 year and I sold.

I made a mistake by buying it based on flattering criticism.

Price quality ratio completely surpassed.

I would not recommend this guitar even a beginner.

There are many other guitars in the price of much better quality.

See the previous opinion or information sheet AF!

I would add only that the midnight blue color of the table is beautiful.
Depending on the brightness, it changes color ... sometimes blue, sometimes almost black!
The binding around the table is very clean ...
The body is 8.5 cm in greatest!
Its weight is 2 kg!

UTILIZATION

The handle is not too thick, and can easily walk over.
It is fairly flat (large radius) The back of the handle does not stick and is almost not enjoyable when sliding. I emphasize this because some hang nail and I find it annoying and very rude ...

Access to more than treble the correctgrace "cutaway" (I do not know if they say it like that!)!

Access to more than treble the correctgrace "cutaway" (I do not know if they say it like that!)!
In summary, the handle is the highlight of the skyscraper in fact!

Half its size crate (or 3/4 body) can even play slumped on a chair

SOUNDS

The preamp is really well made, really works!

I plugged in on a Marshall AS50D (I sold very recement). The rendering was beautiful. With a hint of chorus and reverb, the sound was very addictive!
I even plugged into a rack JMP1 + Velocity and it sounded ...

on the other hand, the little "weak point" that allows him I gave, it is the lack of breadth of its vacuum ... but hey, this is not a Dreadnought, eh! She can not have sound projection considering its size!

OVERALL OPINION

I have 3 years.
I was looking for an electro acoustic and I was attracted by its color on an ad. I went to try it and she convinced me. Given the proposed tariff, I would have been stupid not to take it.
Still, I play little. I spend most my free time with electric ...

I tried a APX700 and 900, which are a bit better (especially at the 900 EQ and sound possibilities) ... but this one, for its price, does well in the game .. especially connected!

* Top: Spruce
* Back & Sides: Nato
* Neck: Nato
* Fingerboard: Rosewood
* Bridge: Rosewood
* Tuners: Chrome Oil bath
* Electro system: micro piezo under-saddle of the bridge. Preamp with volume control, 3-band EQ, midrange frequency control (80Hz-10kHz).

I do not really know what country it was made but one thing is the finish is very good

UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable to play, access to acute is the same as a Les Paul Electric Type Grat
This guitar is a half box which makes it much more comfortable than electro-acoustic lambda
The sound is very good as well plugged in pure acoustic

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two years and what I like most is his body and his body half round, which is really nice
I advise anyone who wants a very good electro-acoutsique for not too expensive
