Nothing to add on what has been said before, if not a solid table, and a nice round to play.
The case seemed bulky compared to the guitar, but, to use, it is top. Volume prevents thermal shock, and I do not hesitate too much to leave it in the car.

UTILIZATION

The ergonomic ... This is the point that surprises and failed at first:
The handle is heavy compared to the checkout. The small volume of the box requires a little searching to find a fulcrum for the forearm comfortable. Few days of practice are needed to make its mark, but then all is well.
I play this guitar standing with a strap, position power, if not sitting, without webbing, but placed on the left thigh.

Great point, is able to carry around and play anywhere and safely.
Beach, boat, car, hotel room ... In addition, it awakens the sympaties: "what's your trick?"

SOUNDS

The volume rout a little at first. Of course, very little bass, a rather "banjo", but sounds interesting and open to other music than I usually practice on my "real" guitars.
This guitar has a good sustain and a pretty little voice, but the difficulty is that the guitarist does not hear. Let me explain: on a normal sized guitar, the volume is sufficient for the guitar well enough perceive the actual sound of his instrument. The projection of the Rover being more timid, and therefore, the less successful in its instrumentalist, then it is good for the listener. Try playing against a wall, and you will see that the reverberant sound is much richer than first perceived.
Another interesting point is the guitar volume is low, it naturally tends to adjust the volume of song, which is consistent in use hotel room.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for a few months and I am very happy with this purchase.
It does not replace another guitar, but highly complementary ones I usually play. She is always at hand, and that's what grabs her I instinctively whenever the mood takes me a little scratch.

A positive point. My guitar is a Takamine top TAN46C. After playing the Rover, I rediscover the fun and magnitude of this guitar sound. It multiplies the pleasure and it is not the goal of the game?
