handmade Spanish guitar Electroacoustic
fretboard classic (52mm)
1 piezo, 1 electret in the box, mixable by the Fishman Prefix Pro Blend preamp

UTILIZATION

handle a typical classical guitar

not too heavy, standard footprint

Mechanical very precise: one can easily agree to the coat

the cutaway is very well thought Accessibility treble, plus I find her very attractive design. Too bad mine has a small defect in the assembly binding (but that does not alter the sound)



SOUNDS

It is versatile (as a electro-nylon can be)

the acoustic sound is still a little closed, she could still feel the glue when I received it (within 2 months after order) but with a good Pauillac, one guesses the aging potential, it already feels she has underfoot ... easy to play and very responsive, strength and finesse. Mine is cedar because I play a lot in picking and it sounds very warm. It will open in the treble as it dries, I'm not worried.

in electronics, I had to tweak a little preamp to avoid the dominance of the micro credit (bp feedback and its a little soft): Remove the preamp from container and act on a small scale screw hidden behind.
In common use, once likened the operation of the notch and phase, the sound setting is childish.

I use a Roland AC60 amp. The sound is clear and round at a time. I even manage to attack an overdrive convincingly with her.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it intensively for 3 months. Before, I had a series 3 of the same brand. It sounded drier, more cramped, but for the price, she did very well. With C9P, my sound has grown, the tuning is a treat.

I regret the level of finish for this price range: the binding mentioned above, the medium setting of the preamp and some fine scratches on the cash on delivery.

The supplied case is superb, solid, lightweight: they do not fuck the world.

I hope that a good instrument store well.
