«  This is it! »

Sleek design, simple and traditional.
It is a very light guitar. Comes with case Martin.
All mahogany. This explains the appearance and smell chocolate (when you open the case, it is obvious).
Shallow depth of body, but a projection incredible, and a significant volume.
Very fast and easy to handle (type electric guitar) is made in the U.S. (Nazareth, PA)!

UTILIZATION

I really wanted to find a sound close to what we hear from Ben Harper and Eddie Vedder, without spending too much.
I had tried one time before buying.
First impression: very nice sleeve, look simple (no frills), a very nice velvety sound (this is the word to describe it) but due to his limited projection depth case).
Ideal for picking and play mostly blues.

Chance brought me to her and I bought rather than the 000-15m.

Meanwhile things have changed, this guitar is aging very well.
It allows me to be very accurate (although I am not good in picking).
Finally, in terms of projection, it is progressing well compared to the beginning even if it's not worth very deep boxes (as we see from Gibson).

I did one week of repeated + concert with her at the end of the week I was tired and I hurt hands (I play more on electrical principle) but with another guitar I would not have been able to keep such a pace.

SOUNDS

As I said, the sound is velvet. This is an unusual sound, accurate, rich medium, hot. Then after some time, the serious stand better the guitar ages and the sound becomes more warm.
It is not a coincidence that many guitarists love it.
By scraping agreement (strumming), it is not his strong point but it gets the job done honorably. I say this guitar is ideal for picking blues style.
How to play is critical because the sound may change completely.

In short: the + is the quality of its very distinctive and playing comfort
The - is the lack of versatility in sound (even if I use it to play everything). I suppose that an instrument can not do everything and I am wary of all term for the music, it is not always a sign of excellence.

This is not an electro-acoustic guitar. But the addition of microphones is very delicate. Choose well ...

OVERALL OPINION

This is a few months I play almost every day on this guitar without ever getting bored. I am always impressed by the sound, it makes me want to replay it again and again.
This particular sound (very stylish blues) soft and warm and I really like increasingly aging even if I do not play blues.
After a few months of play, I see a change in the sound.
Mine has 2 microphones K & K Sound. I'm happy even if my luthier did not seem convinced and would have preferred something else to grow.
I offer sound examples (contact me if you want to listen).
Very light, but strong and of excellent quality, so I would do this choice.

I think this guitar is perfect for me.
