UTILIZATION

As soon I got the hands, the guitar began to play alone. The neck is thick and narrow enough so fast, the pitch is short for something.
The guitar is well balanced and the body (16 ') provides a natural position for me (who have great arms).
Access to acute is not great because of the large thickness of the heel.

SOUNDS

I only play with the Jazz, and it sure is in this area that awaits him, and she excels! Once connected: the sound is immediately appointments, sometimes it's dry and straight to Joe Pass, Herb Ellis, now hushed and round the Metheny or Kreisberg. The tone of knob is devilishly effective, we just push it to a minimum, remain well defined bass and treble to shades of brown wool that I personally adore.

OVERALL OPINION

it's been a week since I played, and it fills me and inspires me. In addition, she is beautiful and it does not hurt. With mesh dish and a large drawing (plan a tour at the maker) is THE jazz box par excellence.
