UTILIZATION

First observation, this guitar is beautiful, ultra Legré, rather flat, translucent lacquer finish irrprochable. It seems small at first glance, the head (very beautiful) is very small relative to the handle. Its shape is a bit avant-garde, but when it was in hand ergonomics is fabulous. There are 2 screws to the rear strap to allow for better resonance of the wood.
When you start playing it, the handle is omnipresent. Very large, round and imposing. We must have great legs and it's been a bit bizare to beginners. It is the guitar Allan Holdsworth no doubt. I 8 / 10 I got because the instrument is too typical cause of this large stick.

SOUNDS

Of course this guitar finger invites new extensions of, the chromaticism. Inspiration trs drive naturally to the type of game fusion / Holdsworth. Unable to make AC / DC. Unfortunately I could not try it but my arm DC127 is equipped with a micro H22 handle the same MODEL. The output level is correct and trs sound quite round.
A resonance is surprisingly empty.

OVERALL OPINION

You understood, I do not have this possde trs beautiful guitar. I want to give an ide. Personally I would not buy one for fear of MODEL signature be "cataloguquot;: plays like thing. But this guitar is really sduisante and is perfect for the style fusion / jazz. No doubt about it worth its price.
I would probably have been around 10/10 if j'tais big fan of Allan, she MRIT.
It is an exclusive guitar for those seeking a single type of sound.
