«  half acoustic half electric »

Published on 07/06/12 at 01:06
Already said by colleagues below. Nothing to add.

The color is beautiful and the excellent violin. Everything is mounted above, nothing is sticking, (fairly thin frets), really nice work, to see a finish that level, it is the comparison to my trad LP without problem.

Mine came with a box TRIC, but surprisingly light weight makes it a little polyester.

UTILIZATION

The handle is of type Gibson ES335, rather then a handle power. It is light (normal ... it is hollow), reasonable body width (half case). Access to Acute not ideal, because no cutaway, but it does not need to go below the 15 so it's good.

SOUNDS

Then there is the question.

In acoustics: it sounds good but careful not too fall action to let the notes ring. The mids are very good, as the treble, I find that it lacks a little low (at the same time it is not a dread or jumbo ...) perhaps by changing the strings ... I would tell you that later. The strings are the strings for electric factory assembled and I think that we should not put acoustic strings on it because once plugged ca sound worse.

In éltectrique: the knobs are very responsive. With the tone at the bottom was the impression of playing with an electro-acoustic. The tone in the middle, it sounds terrible blues, the tone to 0, it sounds jazz. This versatility is remarkable.

The microphone has a high output level on mine, no noise.

So it is neither a sound nor a eletric, it is a hybrid guitar.

This is exactly what I wanted.

All good.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a good two years so it interested me but now at 800 euros, AC made me think ...

So, as balances are gone through it, I jumped on it.

I tried an Epiphone ES175 (bof. ..), an emperor regent epihone (very good but very typical jazz), a perless (good but too expensive) before taking it.

She is very beautiful and is incredibly versatile. I have never imagined filled play acoustic blues, jazz and even rock with a shovel.

Caution, however, supports the microphone through the crunches or very light.

Even at 800 euros it's worth it.

Two years of hesitation ... I should have to buy it before. Really a good guitar!
