Value For Money : Excellent
ébec, format parlor.
-Solid cedar top,
-Cherry laminate sides,
-Maple neck (tinted) large enough,
used up to the 14th fret (no cutaway)
-Rosewood,
-Chartered quite thin and very well finished,
Nitrocellulose lacquer-thin and very fragile.
Tusq nut-.

I spent a whole day Pigalle before buying this guitar. I was looking for a format or parlor folk (petty cash) for max 400 €.
I tested quite a model that day:
AMI-art lutherie folk and
-A wasburn parlor
Takamine new yorker-a
-One guild (model unknown?)

The seagull won

UTILIZATION

light guitar and very nice, fairly massive macnhe does not move a muscle, action very low and well balanced.
limited access to acute (no need to be a specialist to understand).
varnish hyper sensitive but, IMHO, let the wood resonate better than 4 mm of polyurethane varnish that I've seen on other guitar at the same price.

SOUNDS

projection large enough size of the box.
its very balanced: low present without being intrusive, treble content ...
ideal for playing finger (pure bliss!) or arpeggio. on the other hand if you get the buggers a mediator to assist you while bellowing like an ox and quickly dirty the result, it is not a dreadnought!
plain ideal reduced volume.
guitar hyper react well to the game, refers to any attacks on the nuances of the strings, hit the left hand ... there really is something to play with.

OVERALL OPINION

In conclusion cheap model, not made in china, with good feature, no frills (very simple) and a nice sound.

sustainability level in my opinion there is no problem, mine was already one occasion, she has not moved since I bought it.

try!
