Look at the manufacturer's website. Purchased in November 2006. China Manufacturing
Mine is sunburst the most beautiful effect, even though I prefer the guitar a more traditional look
Péampli no tone controls and without tuner

Exudes quality.

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice, this is certainly the quality of workmanship is excellent. And finishing as
Access to acute difficult because no cutaway and it's a jumbo! But who actually plays over the last 5 boxes? Not me anyway!

Not high weight compared to a guitar without a preamp, but very good balance. Note the absence of location to attach the strap next to the handle. Must be used to "lace"! What is not top and does not feel safe when playing standing up (note: I always play sitting in view of my age -47 years).

The guitar was well set from the outset, highly polished frets, no buzz! etc. is improtnat because if a guitar is set incorrectly, the work at hand can sometimes be important. Dou's interest to try the guitar before!
I also played some guitar dan the store brand and MARTIN on 3 identical guitars, none had the same sound or the same ease of play! Figure it.

SOUNDS

In fact I had a favorite by catching this guitar at my usual dealer. A very sweet sound, deep. Of real serious! Acute soft pearls, but not intrusive. Excellent gameplay.
When one takes a guitar at a lower level, that's all right if we want to play.
I said that my level is close to the beginner, but it's not a reason for sounds rotten!
I would even say the opposite. The higher the level, the lower the quality of the guitar is important
I play occasionally with a ROLAND AC60 amp (excellent indeed and very handy and versatile)
ROLAND controls compensate for the lack of adjustment on the preamp of the guitar. Anyway, the settings on the preamp are mainly used to compensate for a lack ... If everything is there présetn home!

OVERALL OPINION

I play for 6 months. This is the best guitar I got. It must of course be other guitars but at what price! I also tried a Guild type 000 is also made in China. Excellent, but no preamp ...

I have owned other guitars: a takamine 220 taka and a 12-string Series G + LAG automnia a small model (type 000) + 1 Admira classical
What makes the difference is the level of serious and vibrations emanating from the guitar, felt physically very elegant. And excellent playability

Obviously this model is not given. € 990 bought new with wooden box

I put 8.5 / 10 because it takes into account the price paid and that there are other guitars much better

Sure, it's an important award, but when you see the U.S. model to € 2000 +, you do not ask, because the quality and sound are there for a price difference "abysmal"! !!!!!!

I certainly do it again this choice or I will go on a smaller guitar (there are at GUILD!) Because it takes the whole trunk of my car !!!!!!!! But there are no free lunches!
