Made in America of race in Nazareth.
Classic dreadnought size, 14 frets.
Handle a block of mahogany (satin finish, a delight of softness).
Solid Sitka spruce top.
Back and sides solid indian rosewood.
Ebony fingerboard and bridge veins, pulling a little on the brown.
Nut and bridge normal bone.
The ankles are against plastic, surprisingly on a guitar of this price.
Lutherie ultra-simple but beautiful: beautiful woods, polishes and deep.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a delight, it is rounded and very douuuuux thanks to its satin finish: hand gliding smoothly on.
I have rather large hands and thin, and this race for me squarely over the sleeves Taylor because it is more arched.
The guitar is very light, the Dreadnought shape is well studied: with its relatively narrow shoulders, the center of gravity of the guitar is low and the playability is very good. Good access to the high frequencies are not fantatstiques but not the goal!
I play mostly with a pick and we can say that it sounds the fire of God! A true sound of the soul what.
Fingers, it's harder, it takes a little force but the fingerpicking is not my specialty.

SOUNDS

Fabulous, mortal enjoyable.

The sound is pretty medium so with a lot of presence and that suits me very well.
Énooormes bass. Treble present but fairly dull.
I tried a HD28 which was good but with the more dug, suddenly it was minus the solo.

Well, I love this guitar, it makes me vibrate.
The sound comes from far away is a real sound, it's too good to play it.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since ... 3 days, and I'm already madly, to the point of blisters on the fingers of his left hand; o)

Very comfortable, light, beautiful, amazing sound, no doubt it is the guitar of my life.
