«  A dread typed with a handle of electric »

Published on 02/24/11 at 16:32
It is a dreadnought acoustic folk format produced in the mid 80s.
Color black lacquered (ls300bk) with white pinstripes, no frills.
Back, sides and mahogany neck, spruce top and rosewood fingerboard, 20 frets and chrome tuners.
Six different models were produced including versions table or even a maple neck and cutaway colors ranging from black to light wood through the sunburst.
In terms of the headstock ... I love the look - inimitable -

UTILIZATION

Good ergonomics despite the dread format (used by my 11 year old son). We think of the handle designed for the electric guitarists feel comfortable on an acoustic, and indeed my son takes it out to avoid its stratum of his room.
In terms of sound, it's powerful enough to not be in exact amount of silk & steel (low strings comfortable pulling). Level and quality ... refer to the woods after a matter of taste.
Access to acute facility that will be on the cutaway ...
Given the size of the fund and the particular size of the handle, I do not necessarily recommend this model to a beginner, but given the ease with which my young son was adopted ...

SOUNDS

The sound has a good projection improves by playing - bought second hand, it was not used for some time - the spectrum is well represented with a good definition but not be typed as an American ... in fact I ' just like ....
Obviously, I'll go with 3000 € choose a Martin but opportunity to € 2 / 300 is a very good choice!

OVERALL OPINION

Used every day at my place of work during the MIDI break for a year I'll replace it with a baby taylor for practical reasons (size, weight, especially with a hard case duplication - we will try to rationalize the use of guitars ...).
I bought it to go from classical to folk and it has since succeeded in Alhambra has left room for other folks but electro (zt ibanez seagull) to play with my son and his Stratocaster.
Obviously, I'll go with 3000 € choose a Martin acoustic, but for a hand to € 2 / 300 is a very good choice!
