SOUNDS

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
18 months (in 2003 beginners)
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Most: sound quality. For a guitar of this price, has come! Moreover, the violin does not give an impression of plastic as the Epiphone / Gibson, for example.
The least? I am looking for ...
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
A packet! I made the rising provincial Paris and I toured the store Pigale o I tried everything in this price range and up to 1000 bales more.
- How do you report qualitprix?
Excellent. J'tais party in the ide an opportunity to purchase such Godin (yes, it is found in these prices, but must act quickly). The ones I found this era did not pan shot. I fell for the Esteve, well above the other Ibanez and Washburn I tried (the others I remember). May be the Yamaha (almost 5000-even when bullets) hsiter me. Especially since it has more of a micro rosette. But the cart pricing, although it achte a (small) condenser microphone, right? Finally, in ngociant a little, I had 3200 bullets with hard house (Tobago) and a nice leather strap.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Oh, yes. And any obviousness, I'm not alone. I have one particular friend who plays the flamenco. And srieux (rgulirement it will do internships in Spain and everything. It goes even Tina Arena during his show-box (it's really talented LH!)). It comes rgulirement home when he turns the corner and it works on my Esteve instead of his flamenco guitar bought in Spain. O jazz and studio I go, it's always mine that the teacher takes to show you something. Moreover, this brand seems to rise.

Dernire personal note: Esteve is a manufacturer craft. I guess that stands between the manufacturer and the maker In any case, is it the sound or the pice of a diffrence MODEL another, but the Premire I tried another store Me with less convinced. Then a is the blow may be to try several. It is possible that there are more important than diffrence in an industrial manufacturer.

The person below has done the job in my place, nothing to add ...

UTILIZATION

I find the handle very enjoyable, I tried a dozen other classical guitar, electro-acoustic or not, and that's the handle I prfr. As against the ropes a little high taient my taste, a little bit of sand paper on the easel and the problem is rgl!
-No problem with Access in acute stroke thanks to the pan. Besides, I originally wanted a simple acoustic, and I took it for its pan shot. And then there is that in addition it is Electroacoustic ...
-I am not a great connoisseur of guitars, at least it looks to me lgre properly, it has a very beautiful color. No, no kidding, it's a beautiful guitar.

SOUNDS

- I had originally bought to make Yiddish music or gypsy, now I use plutt for classical music. It's perfect. She really sounds more than adequate, even if the volume is not trs lev.
- I hardly ever use it with an amp, personally I think adnature sound. The SETTING THE qualiseur can explore different types of sounds INTERESTED enough, but for a real classic sound, it is better not to connect!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three years, and frankly, nothing to me. I tried a lot of other models, and I often have the opportunity to receive classical guitars with friends, and frankly, the Esteve is class!
It has become relatively cheap (427 euros paid in 2002) is a good qualitprix.
I think I do it again this election, with the same budget. If I had 3000 euros dpenser, go see the srement ct maker of real guitars, but this is not the same area ...
