Made in the USA, one can easily find the features on the website of the manufacturer and sellers, but they differ from the new model as the Fishman for the old model (that I own):
Color: Natural
Format: Grand Concert Cutaway Nylon with
Top: Solid Sitka Spruce
Back and Sides: Solid Sapele
Neck: Mahogany neck junction / case 12th fret
Fingerboard: Ebony 18 frets
Nut: Tusq
: 25.5
Nut Width: 44.45mm
Mark key: no
Shiny satin varnish on the table and the rest
Bridge: Ebony
Taylor lifts gold
Electronics: Fishman Prefix Pro (settings: volume, bass, middle, treble, brilliance, notch and phase inverter)
Supplied in hard case
UTILIZATION
Ergonomic point of view, the handle is easy or too thin or too wide, intermediate between a classical guitar and folk, but more closely resembling a folk key (slightly rounded). Very nice, fast and not at all tiring. Perhaps the only regret is acute, because the handle with junction at 12th fret, it lacks some notes but access is facilitated by the cutaway. The weight is perfect, light, and form large concert does not tire your arm while playing mostly sitting, I need to elevate my leg (a volume pedal for example).
Sound, no complaints, a clear response with a wide dynamic range (Sitka) and heat mediums. In acoustics, the projection is good but not exceptional, lacks a bit of chest as a classical concert, but once plugged into an amp like AER Compact 60 is that of happiness, clear and transparent with the Fishman. I have not tried the preamp Taylor installed the latest models, we not say good ...
SOUNDS
This guitar is made for the stage, the sound is really clear and professional, I have no worries to boost me in the middle of other instruments. To stand out I rule with a little more shine on the Fishman.
The sounds are easily adjustable for bossa, jazz, French chanson ... you can play with almost everything.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 6/7 years, I play nylon Ovation 1980 I always, but I do not use on stage because of the preamp a bit overwhelmed, and a slot on the table Harmony following a trip to India. At the time of purchase, I tried the Takamine, a Lakewood nylon that I loved well, but Taylor fell into my arms and I have left over, I'm in love now sound, playability and aesthetics.
About value for money, this is above average, but it was worth it to save a little more to offer.
Maybe I would have preferred the model with the 14th fret neck, but the seller did not have at the time and I could not wait. I got used to it and I do not regret it.
