The guitar is pre-drilled to accommodate a microphone type Fishman.
Truss rod easily accessible directly by the fund.

UTILIZATION

Channel hyper pleasant. I tried the same price range, and much more CHRISTIAN, several guitars and rare t have those with whom I felt so comfortable.
IN GENERAL the first chord on a guitar is determinant. C has t!

Accs relatively easy to treble up to the 15th box, APRS it becomes more complicated. But it is a jumbo and there is no pan shot so there is the sound!

Guitar quite heavy, massive body, he must get used to the jumbo because it can according to the positions (sitting on a bar stool, a chair, standing) tired right forearm.

SOUNDS

The sound is excellent for those who like the low round and warm, although the medium rather delectable and crystal clear highs without being.
All positions are easy to play.
Whether Bastonnais a riff or making him whisper arpges, she sought not from the hip. I'm bluffing by harmonics that emerge when GRNE agreements gently letting go mdiator. She has a lot of power but can have many subtleties.
Guitar very kind folk / blues / rock sound. Sounds close to the Stones, Led Zep.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a week and I have already spent long hours with.
You must love the jumbo, the powerful sound that goes with it. Such a fund does not manipulate aisment, careful not to bump into every corner!
I tried the Taylor and Martin, for me there is no contest Guild still the best. I have not liked the Martins (electro notammentune 2500, without the plug, everything should be in the microphones, so ...) and as to Taylor's too typ very crystalline. Is the one with the roundness and heat on, AC is suitable for all.
The quality of manufacture (China) is nickel, SAR yet. We'll see over time, particularly as regards the mature wood. I suspect that the same U.S. more expensive models have better affinity to wood drying certainly, certainly longer.
The report price is good quality, around 1100 + / - 10%.
We must welcome the initiative of Guild who finds it useful to pre-drill models and its leaves free the musician to choose his microphone. It leaves time to SAVE the price of a microphone and AC can put its budget in the woods.
I do it again without hesitating that choice (except may be if I found the same price for a U.S. hand). I was a little rticent cause of Chinese origin but finally she Reveals be an instrument of irreproachable quality and I will not fawn all set for 3000 a U.S.. At this price I bought myself the guitar luthier custom ct my home, and this is my next project (but even when far!)
