Jumbo guitar.
Manufacturing "by hand" in China: they are too strong Chinese. Flamed maple (not too) to the back and side) and maple egelmann for the table. maple neck, ebony fingerboard.
22 frets type Jumbone perfectly smooth and flawless.
A floyd, no kidding, fixed bridge, with bridges, we would have preferred a through fixing as we see much now, we would still sustain gangs.
The finish is top, with no default, some more expensive guitars could take a leaf.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a delight, I have small hands. Handle this very fine adjustment, ready ropes, but not too much where a strong possibility of challenging the strings if the style requires it.
Access to acute course is limited, there is no slant, but a jumbo cutaway is still a jumbo. Pete Townsend imagined with a cutaway ....
The weight is good, although the shape and depth leads to sacrifice. I'm not a big pumpkin, then the game slumped on the sofa with it's dead, but hey I wanted a jumbo, so I knew before buying.

Sound, then there we enter a vast subject. So it's a Jumbo, which one is the large wide that shipment. (Electro-acoustic?? Not need me and one voice "female preference" is an evening you do).
The spectral balance is characterized by low that look good (to pick) or are round and full (with fingers). The méduims are present without being intrusive, and remains in a shade Myennes. Treble, then this guitar is a bit like the Gibson J200 or Guild JF30 (my two references), they clap and sing and you perform a song by harmonics, but it does not overflow. Basically the sound is a mixture of sounds of two prestigious guitars mentioned above. With much less of this "famous thing" or "I know not what," we will Always preferred the gibson or the guild. Finally the price is not the same.
In short lens, and a specific word.

SOUNDS

Sounds hugely agree because I play acoustic folk, but also blues and rock (in acoutique version of course). But for all the tubes of Pearl Jam, Alanis Morissette, Cat Stevens, The Stones, it does very well his office. But the top is to play two or three, with a Dreadnought that complements the sound palette, and then not need anything else.
One advice, do not play with a pick too rigid, it's not an electric and a little spring him good ventilation for the game
The fingerpicking flatpicking is preferable to too, there is a recall the Jumbone.

OVERALL OPINION

I have two years (I wanted the guitar back to the birth of my daughter, so I play for my wives and friends, and at first I wanted a taka, but trying 2 and saw the price gap, and the lack of difference in quality (sound and finish), I chose this model.
I paid € 470.00 (after negotiation) but I think worth € 550.00 approx. Well, it's a great deal. As they say if we take the pleasure to play, then the instrument is good. I play it with me for hours without getting tired, and I took my foot.
For those who like the format Jumbo, thought this guitar because I choose what I do not regret it.
PS: Provide a large trunk, because the beast does when no pity in the case.
