Small baby / travel from Tanglewood. The brand is English, but even if the seller tells me it is made in the UK, I can hardly believe it: with a price of 130 €, I expect that it is Made in PRC and possibly spec'ed in the UK .
The neck is not too round, rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dots that give a nice effect.
The back is in two parts, the luthery is very accurate: no vagaries in the assembly, the frets are well located and do not hurt your fingers.
The tuners are average, but the guitar is agreeable.
It comes with strings gigbag correct but what is for me the main black spot. We can negotiate with the dealer but like a baby (ie. 3/4) is rarely sounds spot. This is something even more important that the baby is destined to move with you. Taylor makes this point better, who delivers his with the appropriate bag.
I put 7 because of the tuners and bag.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very easy to place your thumb and fingers well off without difficulty. The box is quite small and thin and encourages us to lean forward to press against the guitar itself causing neck pain beyond the time of play is very light and plays well up. For comparison, the backpaker Martin offers a more rounded and bcp handle difficult and a very unbalanced weight. On this point the little English do as well as the Baby Taylor and the new Baby Martin.
Access to disastrous highs.
9 / 10, she does her job.
SOUNDS
The sound ... I wanted a 3 / 4 with me everywhere. I tried this one before qq models and if this is not the best "all categories" it offers the advantage of being fairly balanced if not powerful (Chtite case requires).
The highs are clear without being as crystalline as the Taylor.
The bass is round without being known as deep as the Martin.
And notes are full of harmonics.
The sustain is very correct, the notes do not die in one second and even a nice life expectancy.
8 / 10 because of lack of depth of sound, although I realized she gives everything she has with his half (?) Fund.
OVERALL OPINION
Purchased when I was in France for the holidays, I use it for a month without disappointment, although since I got home, I tend to prefer my folk and my electric fullsize.
But I am very happy with this CHOX, the price / quality ratio is very good and allows a device to carry around without headaches.
I tried the cousins at Taylor and Martin, who provide more sustained benefits at a price higher bcp: each to make his choice.
I bought in Central America a 3 / 4 classic Stagg that sounded quite good (for $ 35!), But I left a child and I have more trouble with the classics (that another story).
9 / 10 to global always this gig-bag is missing, let the English gentlemen, failing to take the first you could expand a little for us to present your offer a product without fear (competition) and without reproach.
