Engelmann Spruce massive
Sides and back: Solid Rosewood
Ebony fingerboard and bridge in
Channel 5 pices reinforced (mahogany ...)
High-gloss finish
Overall ASEZ any standard a. ..
FYI, I possde a Seagull S6 and a 90-Furch OM23Cr
I have the opportunity to play a Takamine AN30C often.
Well, the LJ16 is above the Seagull (and largely taka - even if I do not like Takamine, too cold) - we are not yet at the Furch (100% mass) and the Difference is quite clear.
UTILIZATION
Channel rather enjoyable, even if I know more "fine". that's all more of the same standard as that of the seagull. Channel is rather round.
Even if a jumbo, the body is very ergonomic becaufe ultimately not too big.
The sound is good IMMEDIATE, TRS balanced. even with strings uses, it has a nice gloss felt (as opposed to my Furch (table cedar, rosewood body) which is very bright, snapping limit).
EDIT APRS a weekend pass play on and compare with my Furch. I confirm that we are not at this dernbire, less prsence, less brightness, less body in the sound (with the remark tempra diffrence format, for OM Furch, J for yam) I changed the strings (martin of light). CHARACTERISTICS appearance felt ropes and uses rapparu fast enough, which suggests to me that this is a CHARACTERISTICS guitar. trs but is enjoyable, the sound is TRS balanced and especially arpge and agreements.
SOUNDS
It is ideally suited to folk. In gnral, acoustics, I play the blues or songs, as well Franaise (Cabrel, Keren Ann, paul people ...) and international (Incubus, Beatles, Hendrix ...) c ' is very varied.
OVERALL OPINION
I got trs short time, and I did not notice it was a gift to surprise a friend ... and I t jealous, my time filling redcouvrir Furch!
The budget was 5 to 600 euros, so I tried SERIES 6, a Martin DX1, Epiphone Masterbilt, Guild GAD 25 and 40, Tanglewood. I take a prvoyais LL6 tinted and I fell on this occasion.
Even if there is a diffrence between tural SERIES 6 and 16, the Lotus of yamaha in my opinion are the best choice in this price range. The finish is superb. They are books with case softcase. Yamaha has made very strong. I wonder if I will not let me try ...
Résumé to: less than 750, it was a guiatre a table and massive back, Etrema well finished, the object itself is trs beautiful qyui sounds wonderful. In my opinion the best choise in this price range, especially as the three formats Dreadnought, and Jumbo Orchestra are available.
I'm curious to try SERIES 26 and 36 ....
