UTILIZATION

Handle extremely comfortable (as much as that of my Strat US!)
Limited access to acute at the 15th fret (no cutaway)
Very good ergonomics, balance body / sleeve, light weight despite the size dreadnought
Elixir strings pulling medium
The guitar is very easy to play, no special effort to make it sound right now!

SOUNDS

Harmonics emerge right away, very much on all frets-not only in the 5th, 7th and 12th frets, especially on the G string, great for arpeggios.
In agreement with or without a pick, this guitar projects very strong and very far, but only if the sounds do not mix in "yogurt" as sometimes happens on low-end models.
The E string acute, however, could be a little more to my taste crystal clear: in arpeggio, it must be strong enough to pinch it pops out from other strings.
The bass is deep and warm, yet crisp, with no "vomit"

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only for 2 days but already I find fantastic! The sound is very balanced, not too crystal-clear but with a lot of harmonics, the bass is beautiful, round and nervous at the same time. The guitar is ideal for the arpeggio (despite my little note on the Acute E) through the sublime harmony but also rhythm, as it has a powerful projection while maintaining the clear notes of the chord parts.
Very good price / quality ratio (I also tried Martin medium for my taste too, Larrivée: also very good guitars in the same price range, there is cause to hesitate ...)
No regrets, then! We must know on the other hand be patient: Almost five months have elapsed between my ordering and delivery of this guitar ...
