<ul>

In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)

</ul>

Made in Spain.

How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration?

19 frets, neck joint at the 12th fret.
What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
What kind of stick?
Channel classic, cedar, ebony fingerboard, but reduced width of 50mm.

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?
Handle very pleasant for those who, like me, are accustomed to classical and flamenco sleeves. The width of 50 mm seems ideal and keeps its classical repertoire, while allowing easy practice other styles.

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
Access to the latest boxes without problems, the heel is very well shaped.

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
The highlight of this amazing "little" guitar ergonomics and comfort, therefore, through the sides of 65 mm, the heel section and the width of neck slightly reduced.

Do you get a good sound easy? ...
The sound is necessarily typical, more compressed than a credit to the standard dimensions, but very warm with the beautiful cedar and rosewood.

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?
I play classical, flamenco (note the cedar, very tender under the nails) but I mostly bought for the bossa nova, the Latin American jazz.

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Carlsbro sherwood amp 30.

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
Do not rely on the dimensions of the guitar. There are certainly less bass than on a normal sized guitar, but plans very well with much precision. All shades are transcribed, left or right hand. The sound is very balanced and can be powerful if you press. Once connected, the Prefix Pro Blend preamp Fisman wonders and gives you access, via fine-tuning, a wide palette of sounds: gentle, nervous, hot, etc. ...

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
I have it in hand last week.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
Strengths: comfort, ergonomics, sound, expressiveness and overall quality "professional".

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Guitar bought in Spain with a value for money unbeatable course: 720 euros with the dedicated case Alhambra (env.130 euros) and a set of Pro Arte strings.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
I would do this choice without hesitation. I have behind me 34 years of practice, I had moult instruments, and certainly one of my best guitars. Try it!
