UTILIZATION

Trs enjoyable round, round, good for acute Accessibility assistive ergonomics for my size (1.80m.)
trs good sound for the neck pickup reworked (the DiMarzio), however the sound of the pickup and too sour: I'll replace it for a Dimarzio Tone Zone
My rating is only for the neck pickup which seems perfect 10/10 so (this is the sound of the L 5 The Wes Montgomery!
the bridge pickup does not hold my rating: 5 / 10

SOUNDS

The sound of the neck pickup and redesigned is perfect: the hot trs, trs round, with a good trs DEFINITIONS treble. his "vintage" deep and powerful ... trs shade The L5 Wes, or the sound of Joe Pass if you prfrez!
I play a Fender Twin 100 watts, with a jack and that's it ... dj sound but not too bad!
My rglages are: treeble 5, medium 5, Bass 5, I drop a poverty of the Tone for a neck pickup rglage perfect, I finally got. I play jazz so I search the sound of the guitar pr-cits: Cort Yorktown and the team comes close.

OVERALL OPINION

I purchased this guitar recently (a month). I did change the microphone by a luthier by buying it, because the microphones origins are a bit feeble I got. is the weakest of all. Trs pity there is no tui also provided.
However not regard the report qualitprix of all, it is unbeatable. I have extensively tested the 1500 Yamaha AES and Larry Cort Corryel: made by micro, finishing overall outperforms both aisment MODELS. While these two guitars bnficient better microphones but are less well quips about the violin: not listed shell ... unbearable for guitars approaching 1000 euros (more if we talk about the AEX 1500). I possde a Gibson Nighthawk trs that sounds good. But it does not compare with the Corenne quality report for the package price. My next wish is to the team a "tone zone", with the diffrence in the price of spare Corryel.
