Value For Money : Poor
Made in Taiwan January 19, 2005 if I repeat the serial number QLH199067.
Some concidèrent as the fourth body, personally I would rather say that it is a Thinline model.
Alder body with carved, solid spruce top, Maple neck through inserts, rosewood fingerboard, head and conventional mechanical traditional maple with a rosewood veneer apparently. The tailpiece is conventional therefore designed to receive CORDRA nylon, made of rosewood saddle with composite materials and equipped with a piezo dual-band high quality which is associated with a good preamp also features an EQ three bands and a gain Knob nicely dressed in a button rosewood.
The EQ-coming very effective being on the edge of the high-level guitar tighten the waist is available in all circumstances.
Twenty highly polished frets, very easily playable on the range thanks to a cutout "cutaway" very well thought out and designed.
A housing for 9V to power the preamp, located discreetly in the back of the guitar does not alter the hestétique sober and well enough to finish the whole guitar.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a reflection of what Yamaha is on all his guitars!
It is slim and easy to play and finish of satin varnish makes it very agréble both hit at the ease of moving the palms all along in some positions be it.
Access to acute more than satisfactory, a weight and balance make it a successful tool that is easy to forget its presence. I mean, it totally fits with the musician, it becomes one with him in some ways.
Acoustically sound is a noise level quite low but larger than might be expected, the grain is nice, rich, warm shallow although this is not a surprise.
Once connected we find the richness of the grain but with low current and good spectral balance quite interesting.

SOUNDS

As for sound, this guitar responds perfectly to what I could expect it!
J'usqu'ici I used it plugged directly into console to make records and I find her extremely beautiful and very easy to adjust. Stylistically I bought it for use in contexts, Jazz, Bossa, Fusion and world what it does perfectly! Moreover, its touch response allows optenir a variety of shades and colors that immediatly open a whole range of opportunities that arouse inspiration ...
The dynamics are excellent and the placement in the mix.

OVERALL OPINION

I actually tried a lot of electro acoustic nylon front. And aside from the Godin certainly fine but far too expensive and its a bit too bland and dry for my taste I could not find what I was looking for, side nylon with a grain a bit modern "carbon" while concervant side slamming both mellow and very special classical guitars, combined with the comfort of a handle and a global design instead of guitars format "Solidbody" modern.
As part of what we can expect a electro acoustic nylon guitar, I do not see her limits, it goes far beyond!
The value for money, even if they're remaking it cost new price, is most satisfactory. And its format should make it equally suited to the stage!
