Best value: Excellent
- Korean manufacturing, solid wood: body, neck and sides mahogany, spruce (= sustainability, sound projection), limited edition of 2000 copies in the U.S. controlled.

- 19 frets (what a dreadnought!, No piezo or microphone).

- Mechanical oil bath chrome Grover 18:1, rosewood bridge bonded, Anchors cords Rosewood, Abalone benchmarks.

- Handle section D, flatten in the center.

- Flawless finish to justify the seriousness of the reputation of Korean workers. The score of 9 is justified by the fact that it is a guitar produced industrially. However, this is still one of the small series.

UTILIZATION

- Steep, very steep. The neck is thin, the coating slips perfectly, but the stiffness of the neck can be corrected by deep-draft of Strings: 13-56 recommended. Calosités required, good also for plainement to speak.

- Access to acute accordance with the standards of this type of guitar

- Ditto for ergonomics: for soloists, missing the cut side but its sound characteristics do not guide them to it.

- Sound? our sound but no SOUND! superb sound projection, we can refine the game now but it is aging. I bought it new in 99, the wood was still contain some moisture is needed more than now attack the strings.
She displayed a very good sustain, but this is exceptional when it comes into the room where she is, you can hear the cash come into resonance, and the strings sing me j'vous'l 'says she is alive!

The sound is deep and defined bass, bright treble, mid back which reinforces the side of the lens.

Beautiful arpeggios, you be surprised to leave lasting marks, just for the beauty of sound. Sound projection gives all its legitimacy to its use for support.

SOUNDS

I play with the Irish folk: the use of open tunings such as DADGAD significantly reduces the sensation of stiffness of the neck.

So for my use, it justifies his note (and this is an excellent resistance exercise hi hi hi!)

OVERALL OPINION

- Purchased in February 1999 in Balances, Fr 3200 (€ 475) with Washburn gig bag. I took the
photo illustration so that you see is mine!

- What I love most: o its course! The vieillissempent that reveals the quality of the wood.
o My salesman who knows always advise me (although I
already knew the model)

- What I like least: the stiffness of the neck, but since I got it! (Then
quality and sound projection offset this defect)

- It's a good quality / price ratio because it has access to the sounds of a large and
I save the subscription to the gym!). This is a guitar with the qualities of
building to enable it to continue and to bonnifier time.

- With experience, I plussoie my choice then! While I have a bias for
Washburn (because I also has a power that I love, see my review). To this
time, no Chinese market, no €, you could buy quality guitars
affordable ...
These days, hard to find a good guitar, made elsewhere
in India-Indonesia-Philippines-China-Malysie with less than solid wood
500 € uros ... (May be next door to the Cort? And again ...)
