«  Time machine to go back in the attic ... »

Published on 10/30/12 at 10:39
Dreadnought acoustic guitar-type made in Japan in the mid-80 (1984-1985 specifically). It has a quickdraw unbelievable and feels the full vintage sunburst nose especially ages.
An easel "classic" for this kind of scratching, 6 pins, short pass ...
20 frets medium.
No electronics as it is 100% a guitar folk.
A spruce top and sides, the back and neck are nato (neutral characteristics, similar to mahogany) and the key is rosewood.
Materials midrange but you will see that it does not really prove anything!
The chrome tuners have suffered the ravages of time and I can make them look, change the screws and grease. Now, nothing wrong, it is!

UTILIZATION

Regarding the handle, it is a plain! It is perfect for any style of acoustic music. The only problem I was faced with the handle is made when crossed, I never takes very long because of cramps. That's why I made strikethrough "on Hendrix" (ie, using the thumb for the bass, so I can play longer). But with the use of open chords IS THE FOOT!
No problem regarding the weight or size, even if it is a good chunk!
Do not have a cutaway we will not do with solid, at least not in the extreme treble.
The sound ... ah ... See below = D!

SOUNDS

The sound is simply MA-GNI-fic! Whether Rock, Folk or Country, it provides! A brilliant, no comparison with the guitars of the same brand today: the time has hurt the brand it seems.
I seem to hear a Martin or Gibson P = Harvest, arpeggios or chords, I am a fan. (With fingers, picks or picking!)
In the end, it's the sound that I could not find below € 800, so I'm thrilled!
However, to play jazz that does not really work: the sound is "too bright" but it is not a guitar made for this kind of music, so no complaints (in fact, it works pretty well when we play with fingers near the junction body / neck).

OVERALL OPINION

This is my first guitar and I still use today as the first folk guitar. I do séparerais for anything!
With the handle requires a lot of strength and steel strings, you can play anything after starting there.
I really love everything about this guitar, the sound, the look, the handle ... I do not see any downside to him and having been free, I had a lot of luck = D
But in the end, I filled those who will pay more than € 700 to acquire a model of equivalent quality as it was probably listen to the equivalent of € 300-400 maximum.
Time passes, my friends, time goes by ...
