«  One of my favorite guitars ... »

Value For Money : Excellent
handle 21 frets with cutaway access to so acute is facilitated.
Micro Piezo takamine, with TP4 preamp. simple adjustment, bass, mid, high + volume. intuitive and easily found the sound you want by fiddling the amp. taken for the studio I double the piezo which goes through a DI with a microphone placed in front of the guitar instrument. the sound that it almost does not deserve to Equalization. This really is a great toy ...

I put a big nine, PCQ nothing is really perfect.

UTILIZATION

the handle is super nice, round with a good grip, fast, most excellent. My easel head literally exploded a few years ago, so I took the opportunity to replace the plastic frets (head and bridge), by small pieces of bone that my luthier prepare her little hands skilful.
the weight is perfect, not too heavy, not too light, I put a Straplock the heel of the neck and the guitar is a bit unbalanced, it has a tendency to bite the head very slightly, but nothing serious.

9 PCQ is always excellent ...

SOUNDS

I use it every day, even if only 5 min and she really accepts all styles of games. gypsy jazz, pop, through picking, everything is really nickel. the only downside would be the presence of low, having a cut-off prevents them from really out. but trying several sets of strings you do get the sound you want and the strings that we like. in my case it is mounted in Argentina 11-46 (pr strings typical gypsy jazz) but this is the best I've found for the sound I like, they really accept all styles and are a good compromise quality / price but that's another discussion ....
the sound is excellent ... 9

OVERALL OPINION

it has been about 8 years it is mine, I had found a store of Cygnus or you can find anything, and I fell in love with her curves. I knew a little of the world takamine but on this one I was really amazed. all this time I tried other guitars, I bought other (tjs of Cygnus, PCQ give a second life is an instrument kiffant), but none in this range there is m ' gave much pleasure.
the price / quality ratio is excellent, and with experience YES I would do it without hesitation PCQ a choice like that Cygnus is not every day that falls on ...
