Best value: Excellent

20 frets, Gibson type bridge

2 pickups (one humbucker + 1 severe acute Made in Epiphone) with each volume + Tone
Slecteur 3 positions

Thin neck and not too wide



UTILIZATION

Ergonomics are good, easy to handle, no worries

For sound, well you need a good amp and well rgler namely, the microphones are not more exciting than tell the truth but the guitar is damn good.
As usual in models of the series, if the wood is good the guitar sounds good, it's just a lottery but I am happy with mine.
She does a lot play it must be said, the wood has worked well.

It has a curved body and not too ;-) pais really very comfortable.

The hardware is the price range, even when we see that this is not a guitar are: Mechanical 3000 however, it is true, very reliable. It's rare enough to be will appreciate

SOUNDS

made for jazz guitar.

Climb ropes flat nets, play, do not change your strings unless they break and of course the sound of the neck pickup is round, even jazz!

By putting a little distortion can be a kind of sound Django 47/53

I prefer the neck pickup!

I played with a transistor amp Ibanez Tone Reverb 25w (not bad) and a Roland AC60 amp (too cold for my taste play with electric guitar).

It's a guitar plugged into a Peavey Classic or Fender amp!

OVERALL OPINION

I use acoustic or branch for very long.

It sounds enough to acoustic work time and a branch is a jazz sound.

In the hands it is over, I find it rather beautiful (non musician friends also find it beautiful GENERALLY) and easy to play.
However, with the exprience, we feel that we are far from the sound of a fine guitar maker, the feeling gnral is a bit "rustic"
