OVERALL OPINION

I've had a year in Worn Cherry and tear. Do not trust the pictures on the net, the red color is superb. In addition, I changed the pickguard and knobs and buttons, I find it very nice to it (somewhat) expensive. It's a scratching bare, rough cast and I love it. It's not a skyscraper that will be afraid to go out ("oh la la, scratching at the € 3000 I can not leave the room anyway") The sound is beautiful, it's the people and not Gibson that of the "baby rockers" of the 16th or Versailles. This is the guitar of the rural (and mountain for me!) Who love authentic Zic. PS: I do not share Gibson at € 700 but forget all that crap are the same price. Hi, Parigot, hello The country (Mauritius)
26/10/10 EDIT: this is a little over 3 years and I have always thrilled with the scraper, it sounds in all registers and it is beautiful.
I see no guitar which comes close in this price range.
