Vostro1040Great vintage guitar
Published on 05/10/16 at 12:34I use this guitar for finger picking - but it sounds better being strummed.
It has a mellow tone. It is somewhat less loud than some other guitars. But it is quite loud enough.
The cool things about it are that
1. It is a prettier guitar than the Eko Ranger. The bridge especially is beautiful. And it is available for much less than the Rangers.

The guitar is, I am pretty sure, all laminate. It's quite heavy. But it has a fine, solid, feel to it.
The sound projects better now that I've replaced the original plastic pins with good quality brass ones. I am amazed at the difference in sound.
Mine is not the black model, but the natural wood one. Looks great. Especially the bridge.
Specifications: (my measurements)
Nut width: 1 3/4 inch
Fret radius: 7.25 inch
Radius of (what appears to be the) original saddle: 9.5 inches
