As you may have noticed, all woods are massive, the Indian rosewood for the sides and bottom, the table pica is rare enough to be signal.
The guitar is handmade (handcrafted), at least that is what is written on it. In addition, it comes in house (not tui) but good quality though.

For about 600, I do not think that we can find better value qualitprix now.

UTILIZATION

Ah! The woods! they are really not bad at all:
The guitar is quite heavy which is surprising compared to other models o most of the time table is not the same mass.
The choice of pices of wood is trs shame, this is not the quality level of a high-end Martin, but MUCH better than a Martin or Taylor low-end, which by Also, are much more CHRE.
On my Parkwood, I have found only one imperfection on the table (a dark spot lgrement, the size of a pin head, it does not have the seem to be a node).

Overall finish is exemplary, no glue dborde, frets leveled and polished.

The silent action relatively high, but the APRS adjustable nut (3 frets are supplied with the instrument ), It becomes plutt comfortable.
The satin varnish on the handle to facilitate the game's body is her fawn mirror gloss finish. Beautiful, but you lose the feeling "boisquot; that j'apprcie. Indeed, the polish looks pretty thick and gives a feeling plastic moirroir despite what the manufacturer. It is a shame because the old MODELS manufactured by Cort had finished "Open pore": trs thin layer of varnish and satin fondur no.

Not finished

OVERALL OPINION

Not finished

It is more exactly the Cort PARKWOOD PW310R, already mentioned in the previous opinion, built in exactly the same way and with the same wood as the PW510R. I give an opinion because I play almost every day for a little over two years.

Regarding the settings: a passion for violin and having already put hands dirty on many occasions, I did not hesitate to tighten the handle myself on the day of purchase because after changing the original draft (too thin to me) by the .13/.56, Mr. had naturally arched. In the process, I lowered the action by filing the base of the bridge saddle.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable, slim mahogany satin. Access to acute is that of a dreadnaught. By trying it, I knew that after having set as mentioned above, I would get one that suits me perfectly ergonomic and more power. Of course, I have chosen among many others because I had heard and seen its potential noise, though young.

SOUNDS

I love the sound: the bass is powerful and tense, there is no drool, not even the low mids. In fact, the entire midrange product a nice grain, which has already gained heat in just two years. The highs are a beautiful light, or not aggressive acidity. I am delighted that the guitar reaches its full maturity, because it still has great potential.
I play both rhythm with a pick (only soft), in power, as blues by mixing flat and finger picking. It is a living instrument, which captures the nuances of touch and attack, he must be able to give. It responds very well to play percussion. Power and versatility.

OVERALL OPINION

I paid € 650 and is the queen in this price range. It is also much more: it easily withstands the comparison with prestigious competitors that cost more than double. I would do exactly the same choice. It lends itself very well to a sensor rosette. Without hesitation, I offered the best (Seymour Duncan SA 6) and electro-acoustic cutaway have better watch out.
