UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant enough but not buche round either. So it's still a round guitar input or mid-range and not touch super comfortable.
Pretty heavy guitar, no printing crate inspired some guitars ranges entries.
Otherwise it is a no notch folk guitar, so access to the treble is just a matter of acrobatics.
Its balanced but still fairly medium overall. It has neither deep bass, clear highs or.

SOUNDS

Yes and no, because he is my only acoustic instrument so I spend the Beatles to jazz manouche ... well it is still more suited to blues / rock / pop.

OVERALL OPINION

This is my first guitar, almost 25 years together it still account.

I lugged everywhere, sometimes in very boundary conditions (heat, humidity ...), but it did not move. The flower on the pickgard disappeared for a long time, she did not resist the blows picks his former and current owner.

I recently changed the mechanics, plus a small "polishing" freight that began to be dug. Otherwise nada! Luthier who made me care assured me that it was a good little guitar. I can believe.

My opinion is more emotional goal but if you find a cheap (I think less than 200 or € 250) and you like the sound that comes out, then go ahead, it will not let you and cherish you for another many years.
