Value For Money : Excellent
Does any adjacent words, Canadian guitar village of the country (or factories are a lot of guitars in the house Godin), 22 frets, Solid cedar top and sides cherry. the whole is very good and quite unusual. no fault of the cot;).

UTILIZATION

In terms of playability, the neck is fairly typical (and rather large end from a ibanez ca I really do not drang ), Very comfortable but then again it may not please everyone => a try then.
the neck (and body) has a very nice satin varnish, smooth and enjoyable to the touch => ca glides well, but in return it .. quite fragile so be careful not to let a trainer anywhere !
no cutaway => no access to great highs, but honestly it's not what you asked;).
I put 9 for the fragility of the varnish

SOUNDS

At the sound is again very typ => full of bass "deep", a warm and round, which will not suit everyone (but many others are looking, which is my case ).
the sound also seems to me quite mtallique, I think it will diminish somewhat over time (new ropes ..).
this guitar seems to me to idalie accompaniment, acoustic rock, blues, or the folk.

Attention => the amount of bass over treble can disturb. playing fingers I found her really perfect and clear, but when I pass the mediator agreements (a 2.0) the E string and clearly dominates and is given a result in somewhat gal and "draft". Then I tried with a mediator much thinner (0.5) and a return to balance again the sound I was looking for in the end .. what a great mediator I damn scared: D.
I put the 9 dsquilibre bass / treble that will not please forcment.

edit: after a more prolonged period of use the sound is not at all metal, and is every day more playable and pleasant to the ear. for me it is THE guitar for accompaniment idalie folk, song .. typically playable by the fire;)

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for one week at full capacity (roughly 10 hours a day).
- I like its sounds very full, round and warm, it washables dcu me nothing yet.
- I have tried many models before buying, and c'tait far the most kind and most recognizable.
- Very good report quality price (I pay 380 with a 20% discount .. what more? = D)
- For the moment nothing dcu me, I do it again this choice without hesitate .. I ca redirais within a month or two).

In conclusion, it is a guitar very good price quality ratio, but the sound and playability very typs that may not appeal to everyone (as amazed the purchaser, according ).
a must try if it fits in your budget).
