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.
