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!)!
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!
