UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant
The small size of this guitar gives easy access to all the stick and some songs while "crossed" that I found difficult on my ovation here are becoming much more affordable.
This guitar has excellent ergonomics.
The sound is magnificent both in electroacoustic sound with the warmth of wood and a very good balance low / mid / treble.

The jack fits into the belt holder at the end of the box.

Finally she is very pretty. The oval rose plastic is not as stated in another review, but a kind of transparent resin in which is cast in a rosette abalone.

Noted that this guitar comes with the oval and cover the key 6 pants.



SOUNDS

I was looking for an electro-folk sound that is usable for jazz but also to play good old country picking: it fills me any points.

In use it has a sound very warm and rich sound not at all metallic. I expected the sound of a guitar actually. In addition this guitar despite its small size is not provided and remains inaudible quite usable unamplified.

The sound is amplified when its really very good.


OVERALL OPINION

I just buy it and I use it for a few hours and then it comes right complement my other electroacoustic CC44.C an Ovation is just like the 2 guitars with a preference for still new to its gameplay.

Before buying, I tried a lag T100DCE-blk, she has not convinced me (it looks attracted me to him but I found her poor, metal frets painful for the fingers as badly finiies, handle not really easy and flawless finish not in the details (nail missing on the easel, small bumps at junctions). The Yam on the other hand APX700 has a flawless finish, a super easy to handle, the sounds come out alone.
What I like least ... uh ... I may be a preferred CPX (11cm maximum thickness instead of 9 cm APX) if the store had had one for a little more volume in acoustics.

I remake that choice without hesitation. A
