Folk Cutaway Acoustic Guitar factory in China
20 frets, rosewood fingerboard, mahogany neck, mahogany table and sides also, table pica mass
Nice finish for the price range,
Grovers mechanical, nacre dcoration typical of the brand and sober.

I wanted a guitar so we could have a massive tool that ages well.

I did not want a cutaway guitar behind me but his bluff and test despite having tried other guitars at the same time it (including a Yamaha LL and GAD- 50) I broke down and ben .. worse time for this kind of dtails if it is comfortable and has a sound. (I rflchis from the pan once and I plan as a benefit slide soloing and rhythm on the other

UTILIZATION

Channel trs enjoyable, action can be a little high in its original rglage see the hard (the game will be the slide can be easy as we shall see, but good as I was not the same guitar but not everyone)

and then if I just wanted a "nice guitar" I would not buy it l.
BMOL on the handle and varnish, it needs to be done, both more used satin sleeves Drout is enough to beginners in contact (I quibble).

SOUNDS

Graves amazingly deep for a cutaway guitar ...
(Compare GAD-50 Rosewood, the 40-C has avre much richer, warmer and more powerful, which really surprised me and changed my opinion compltement ( I was aiming plutt Taylor or Martin so far, but I wanted to try a Guild to get to the bottom and no regrets).

While the highs are not as can be on a Taylor Defines precisely (though having an essay of 110 and 214

Difference is not obvious). The sound is terrible to sustain and projection quite impressive.
(A comparison can be only the Martin D-15 s'rvle if "cause").

I plan relonger mainly in the acoustic blues and a little rock, folk ballads and other more time, "Mademoiselle" with versatile air, we should hear and make a whole stretch of road .. so as I Espree it ages well.

OVERALL OPINION

Report quality almost unbeatable price, but it is a choice of heart knowing that other models are equally

INTERESTED in other brands below 1000 euros, .. Taylor, Martin D-15, see GAD-50 (may be the silent MODEL I tried it a little lower?
Or my GAD-40C it is lucky? not wanting to take the risk and make me blow the merchant, the community is now home.
(It is also supplied with a rigid tui Tweed trs "Vintage" the most charming effect (gray-brown with leather and old mtal)

---------------------
APRS said one month of intensive use,
The action is not at all too high, and the strings are not hard at all in fact (even if the yamaha silent easier to play). The great mistake of my fingers itches lctrique little worker ... In short I withdraw all my BTIS on this subject .. The same applies to the coating of the handle that I found a little sticky or tacky .. it must be of a cleaning .. Or the also got used to my hands ..
brief ... I say anything more, it is simply the super scratching.
"Just a good guitar" could also be a good slogan for Defines ..
