    I put him 10/10 because the config is perfect for me. Moreover, the assembly is exceptional and the aesthetics of a very high class ...

    UTILIZATION

    Channel necessarily pleasant, excellent ergonomics, it is not ultra light but still within the average for this kind of solid body (mahogany wood is quite heavy).
    Easy access to acute until the 26th and it sounds ...

    I would do so this election, probably in some time ... Custom model that changes a man! (Ok I stop with my slogans cans;)
