Electro-acoustic guitar Gibson brand, manufactured in the United States (in Bozeman, Montana specifically!).
It is primarily an acoustic band and handle body 20 jumbo,
Micro side, a Fishman transducer under the bridge (I do not know more.
Lol not a good sound settings you play and the sound is there! and electro, it connects and it is with the unit in which it is connected (amp or PA system)
Gibson Mabche type profile 60'très comfortable ...
if wood is listed: Curly Maple neck, Table: premium Sitka, Back & sides: flamed maple, Fingerboard: Rosewood, when identified abalone, easel "mustache", tortoise pickguard.

UTILIZATION

As said before, nice handle, you could spend hours playing ....
Access to acute side let's be clear, it has a better type "jumbo" large round body and no cutaway so restricted, I have personal small hands and I is that access to the 17 th freight
Ergonomics, if you look at the pictures even if you know the "jumbo" you will find that on that side "can do better" but that's not what you asked, she is made for the strumming and a moderate gaming (no plans quick example)
It sounds alone is impressive! very present bass, midrange, treble well balanced all a very good guitar!

SOUNDS

I mainly play in a register pop-rock, blues-rock, jazz, and it may well agree to this, I often tape the beef with a friend who plays gypsy him and he also enjoys in the register (it's me picnic all the time!)
My favorite ... well while I put my mind a long time and above all the sound, I found that by playing m 'did enjoy the acoustic sounds good "roots" I'm a fan of the album "Book Of Zakk Wylde of Shadows "and it sounds perfectly in this spirit. I especially like the side or when I cracked a piece just as I lean over and I bump it sounds on both blues and even jazz pop rock that happiness!
to be completely objective it is regrettable access to acute but ... it would be nit-picking and the identity of the instrument would lose!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months (but I have sought for years)
What I like most, it sounds to each use and it improves with time,
Oula yes the best of the worst of all, Taylor (not bad but too clean and expensive, Martin expensive and not always top, a Cheval Franc (but I do not have 4000 euros) and other Gibson's (very good but not always in available in my price or occasion!)
I got mine for 1400 euros secondhand very good, compared to nine in 2200!
Yes certainly I would do this choice! eyes closed!
