Electro-acoustic cutaway simple (on a classic) made at the request B. Lavilliers under the supervision of Serge Gallato.
Making official: Spain ... at least one that was given to Lavilliers! (120 for other models, the place of manufacture and / or assembly is not specified)
Solid Spruce
Sides and bottom Bubinga
18 frets ebony handle
Channel signed Lavilliers
Fishman classic 4 preamp
Sold flightcase Wine lees written "Bernard Lavilliers Guitar Limited Edition)
The finish is a bit "sloppy" to craft a guitar (cracked glaze at various points in junctions and a small trace of glue at the junction of the handle) I will not go higher than a 8 / 10 on the characteristics.
UTILIZATION
The neck is slightly thinner than a "classic" traditional, which makes it very pleasant and very easy access to a regular model folks.
Access to acute is no problem until the 13th cargo must be beyond the long fingers and some skill or at least a little getting used to this kind of guitar.
Ergonomics is absolutely perfect (no worries whatsoever balance while sitting or standing with a strap). In addition it is a lightweight to the point that one can perfectly play up without strap although it is not used to exercise. In short, it is very easy to play!
Plugged directly into a PA, we get a good sound directly ... on an electro-acoustic amp should moderate the mediums and push the bass.
In pure sound, the projection is a bit feeble but the sound is very faithful to that Lavilliers ...
It is a very versatile classic at the sound palette that is worth a 9 / 10
SOUNDS
Although versatile for a guitar-based "classic", personally I do not use primarily for the pieces while arpeggios. To my taste this guitar lacks a little punch and resonance for pure acoustic rhythm (a cutaway it counts on a guitar of this size).
The sounds of predilections are really those of Bernard Lavilliers, which after all has a rather large directory on its own ... If you like the sound Lavilliers, it's really that, it deserves a good 9 / 10 in my opinion!
OVERALL OPINION
I use this guitar for two and a half years now.
I really like the handle but I regret a little lack of punch in acoustics.
This guitar is generally of good quality but, for exclusivity (only 120 copies) and the homemade, I do not, however, excites me more than that ... the price is really the signature (beautifully engraved on the top of the handle, by the way)? It's hard to say ... Alhambra, Esteve Admira or offer lower-priced guitars just as attractive now.
This Gallato / Conde is undoubtedly a very good guitar "electro-classic" mid-range but with hindsight I would add a "no more" because of the rather questionable quality of violin making.
With experience and time of the year 2008, I say

Overall, I would note this guitar 8.5 / 10
