Attention! is a 3 / 4 body, does not fit all your fly boxes, fly box of 335: forget it! choose a Hard Case for Jumbo

UTILIZATION

handle a treat, easy as I do not know until then (even my Fender Mex is less easy), but it only recently that I have (I will return later), light weight.
I am tall she is
Access to treble is like on any kind of guitar not that easy, just like on a Les Paul
Having a jumbo acoustic, ergonomics fit me much better, it seems smaller in body width and I feel more comfortable with it ... I was dreaming,
with the bend is super easy ... you can play for hours without tiring.
thickness of the body 7 cm

Sound? well it depends!

Obviously in light, not connected to an amp, it sounds pleasant enough but slightly, if I compare to my Jumbo is a 3 / 4 body, and the sound is rather quiet, perfect for exercises without disturbing the neighbor room.
but it advances so it is easy.
connected to an electro acoustic amp is a super clean sound (I have not explored yet) no breath (if you do not put too much volume side micro guitar when you're too close), Ibanez 35 watts troubadour, pay attention to réglges volumes, stand too close, becasue Larsen.
epiphone lamp to my amp, I find the sound great, we must explore the possibilities with microphones from the box and knobs on Epiphone Valve Junior, very simple ... no feedback (for now) even fairly close, warm and Sustain Extra
I have not tried it on my Peavey Prowler 45 W

SOUNDS

yet the sound is somewhat defined supra, fairly clear, not at all messy, I have not tried his bold, if indeed we can get it! (and yes, see far!)
So amp Ibanez Troubadour = clear sound with the Epiphone Valve Junior: both, clear sound (less) and sometimes more ... but I do not know what to call this sound or sounds: say more power (and bluesy triturating Abily rock) this amp is very simple you must adjust the guitar by his taste and it avoids getting lost,
I am a simple guy, so .... but I prefer the sound to the Les Paul that I sold, although this is not the same as
with Peavey: not tried it yet, I will return, with the basic test sounds produced on the Epiphone Valve Junior (no settings except volume), the settings on the Peavey is much more extensive course.

For the valve junior attentionau feedback if the volume pickups Ibanez AF tros high volume between 2 and 3

I guess I'll have to keep me away from this tube amp too powerful for the room housing the

So I'll come back later

well no! with the Peavey, I almost sound I want, and even other sounds until saturated fat rather that this is not the vocation of the guitar, pedal boost etc. .. Peavey brand too, so it plays well and the sound is often a must, it's amazing, I am at 3, 5-4 m, it rules! play with the knobs on the guitar after the selected setting on the amp is very varial, but not really difficult.

OVERALL OPINION

this is very recent acquisition which I welcome ... so my opinion is refine, but I'm excited for its looks, sounds already obtained and its ease of play, in short I find it beautiful, generous and simple: great lady for me
value for money unbeatable, I love it
So we can afford a high-level guitar for a beginner budget ... I will keep this guitar for a long time, I know
