UTILIZATION
The handle is perfect. Comfortable, easy to play. Highway.
The radius of 9.5'' seems to suit me perfectly (I have a CS with a radius of 7.25'' and I think it is less comfortable, but hey, I only have two and a half years practice ... it's probably arrange). The frets are not too big, they are medium jumbo (I do not know how it is possible to play with jumbo frets) and despite the fact that I was accustomed frets smaller than the CV 60, the adaptation was immediate.
I changed the strings immediately because the guitar is fitted as standard with 9-42 and it was a little gum effects with the pulling of strings. So I asked what I ask of the 10-46 rule and that the guitar accordingly. After that it was perfect.
On guitar is very well balanced, neither too heavy nor too light.
SOUNDS
The pickups are very honorable for the price of this guitar.
Obviously, we did not have the sound of a Fender Custom Shop but honestly for the price it's great.
The violin is very nice too.
Even without being plugged in, it resonates. Surprising once again for a guitar of this price.
OVERALL OPINION
Bought 4 days ago, I can not let go.
Basically, the idea is to take her usual place on my vacation, so as not to have to lug my guitar every trip (and travel lighter). Hence the need to buy a guitar has a very reasonable price.
Conclusion: it is cheap and top. So, then, I tell myself that I'm having trouble to leave behind, it's a shame not to enjoy that vacation time ...
At the time of purchase, I could compare it to the Classic Vibe 50 'and the choice was immediate for the HP 60' I found the prettiest ADDITION 50 '(but if the 50 had been better, I would have chosen the 50 anyway). The 60 versus the 50 sounds better comfort and superior game I found.
I had the opportunity to compare the entry level Fender also (a model at 489 euros) and again there was no photo! In 30 seconds, it was done so the classic vibe 60 'was superior. The finishes are much better and it sounds much better. So why spend more especially if it is for less (small accuracy, fender seemed set incorrectly, the strings were really off the handle, then maybe with a setting that would have done but good anyway my choice was made: the classic vibe 60 ').
I would do this choice without hesitation (maybe even I could do it again ... to really leave on my vacation spot!
