UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable. With access to acute facilitated by the cutaway.
The guitar is not very heavy which is great on stage (the back says thank you to him) and sitting position, its shape is perfect because it does not slip!

on the other hand it is imperative to change the mechanical as have real disaster! The G string (an unusual) to tune the slightest bend too strong!!

Attention also is a floating so if you remove the strings, the bridge is welcome in the bar and setting the world! Easel! Galley for those who know nothing of the blow that makes a guitar in addition to tune will ring true!
Put a small pencil stroke allows a mark!

SOUNDS

At the sound, I was plugged into a fender deluxe, suddenly in the neck position is intermediate was a great sound super hot, for against the pickup gave sound a little too loud!
It is really suitable for jazz, blues and a tad rock.

OVERALL OPINION

The price / quality is excellent although it should change the mechanical!
I think I could make the election in any case I have no regret to have owned since she was perfect at that time of my life!

One of the best (maybe even "the best "...) money I've ever had the good fortune to buy. I find the aesthetics beautiful! As for the violin, I have gone through a magnifying glass and I could not find a fault!

Only one small problem: the original strings that are not top notch ... But for the price you can not ask for anything more.

EDIT 18 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE: The AK95 continues to be a guitar that I play with a lot of fun. That said, it should be noted that the tailpiece Gold hardware oxidizes at a certain speed (after four months he was mine). The thing does not bother me but the freaks "everything perfect" are preventable.

UTILIZATION

The shape and weight are not a problem: the guitar is light and balanced. Given the size of the box access to treble is not very comfortable as all the hollow-body guitars. If you are used to solid-body factory setting of the action may be too high but for me this setting suits me perfectly.

SOUNDS

Unplugged it over potatoes and balance of what we might imagine Connected to a fender amp transistor and with the neck pickup selected, it suits me perfectly for the sound "clean" or just "crunch".
However, the side too "loud" the bridge pickup gives me more confused ...


Register for a rock-blues it does the job but nothing more. If you want to pepette and evolution, this guitar would probably sound better with other pickups. In my case, I will not change it because I have bought to play sounds clean and at this level, no complaints.

I give 8, but considering the price I think I'm still a little too strict ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for eight months and I do not leave: connected or disconnected is a sacred guitar. Before buying it I tried other guitars hollow-body in the same price range and the AK-95 is: a) surely among the best value "price / quality" b) characterized by a very good violin I can not presume to tell you have tried all the hollow-body on Earth but I have played enough to recommend trying the AK-95 in case you are looking for a guitar for less than 500 Euros.

Why the site builder explains better than me!

UTILIZATION

The handle is top, access to the lower frets are not that hard! Balancing the guitar is correct.
In terms of sound! I hung ba direct plug or not it is terrible! and with some effects in the ass a marvel for the price! Sustain an excellent but hard to manage at the beginning!

ps: the handle is really nice!

SOUNDS

It is quite versatile, ideal for the blues! punchy for rock! and nickel for the reggea!
I often play a Line6 Flextone III (repeated) and the house a Gretsch 5222 and eletromatic nothing to say ... especially on the tube gretsch mm 5 Watts's the fact!

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased on January 2 last few months I never left her!!
I love her face she is really nice and pretty well finished for the price!
I tried a few models from Epiphone among others, and each time I returned to the AK 95
Precisely because of its price / quality ratio!

I do it again without a doubt the purchasing mm!
