<ul>

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

</ul>

Canada
<ul>

What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?

</ul>

Ben what a question .... an easel, with bitonios to hold the strings running through it. As against the table is solid cedar and I wanted to compare her to my Takamine EGS230 in spruce veneer.


<ul>

What type of race?

</ul>

A damn! good question, but I did not blunder. I think it was quite round but not huge.
<ul>

How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?

</ul>

21 frets I think, but from 14 it's not very accessible since it has no cutaway. No microphone is acoustically as it is.
<ul>

What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?

</ul>

I just said it was just noise! did you understand or you do not understand?!?! <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />

UTILIZATION

<ul>

The handle is it fun?

</ul>

Ah yes, because the intro to "Day 8 the week" by the Beatles went nickel. It slid on its own.
<ul>

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

</ul>

A good dreadnought that was well on his leg. The weight? Oh uh there you feel like a solid wood hands and it's weight. This is not to displease.
<ul>

Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?

</ul>

Oh damn! dipstick said before. Not because it is a whole body (no cutaway) and I like it much.
<ul>

Do you get a good sound easy? ...

</ul>

Yeah. Must scratch and it sounds good. I think with new ropes is yet another sound ...

SOUNDS

<ul>

They are suitable to your style of music?

</ul>

With a few pieces that I played, I felt that we could make a beautiful couple both.
<ul>

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

</ul>

I liked his good low due to the depth of the box. I have been destabilized by the slight lack of treble (compared to my Takamine cited above), but I can not say I did not like, because the strings may have been tired or was it a brand that I'm not used? So there not to be too harsh I will call this soft.
9 / 10 only in the hope that a new set of strings reminiscent of the brilliance which in my opinion, was missing.

OVERALL OPINION

<ul>

How long have you use it?

</ul>

Only this afternoon during a test store
<ul>

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

</ul>

I did not buy it because I would first sell my Takamine (but here I'm not sure I really want to) by I tried against an Arts & Lutherie spruce and the same for the electro-acoustic ( then spruce and cedar) and a Walden (quite similar to A & L tried before, and not a bad Tanglewood Alvarez ...., then a much less expensive but not ridiculous at all and also one on which I found Takamine sounds mine that I used to.

<ul>

What is so special that you like most and least?

</ul>

+ Having a solid wood table
+ The sound that changed my Takamine
+ The combination of this not unpleasant Dreadnought shape with this lovely dark red finish deteriorated.
- Okay, it's not really a minus, but I missed a bit of brilliance ...
<ul>

How would you rate the quality / price?

</ul>

A € 100 more than I should not feel robbed, frankly. € 300 and wheelbarrows, almost too expensive for the guitar that I had hands.

<ul>

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

</ul>

But surely the choice would be as bad as the dilemma .... I see that the seller: "My budget is 400 to 600 € and above all I want to see any sign not to be influenced .... I will be guided by my ears and my heart"

As you frankly, since I saw the video on the making of guitars from Godin folk and yesterday I tried a Simon & Patrick (cousin of Art & Lutherie) is a fucking lightning. But should not I say it too loud because my Takamine is lying on my bed behind me, I would not get in to a fit of jealousy. <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />
