USE

Is the handle comfortable?
Very nice, perfect for a quick game
Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Yes, but it is not a cutaway guitar.
Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
This guitar is very balanced and lightweight compared to other models. It is ideal for the stage.



SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?
Yes done at all (Blues / Jazz / Rock)
What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
One can easily play the sounds in pinceant or rubbing the strings more or less close to the rose.
This is a strong personality guitar.
The sound is well balanced without bass too present. if you want more bass and roundness simply "scrape" closer to the handle while the bass is very present.


NOTICE GLOBAL

The value for money is very good. It is increasingly delivered with a Guild Hard Case made in CANADA.
Wood and mechanical are excellent quality. THE finishing excellent too.
If its price list 2350 € TTC is justified, one can find some interesting specials from time to time and in this case the value for money is exceptional .. An electro-acoustic version exists with one pick-up D-TAR.
