OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
Around 5 years. Purchased as umpteenth grattoune to carry around everywhere. It responds quickly and well. Mecas take the road if we do not hit too much vibrato. I carry with me always in addition to my guitar "of record". I use to open and I mounted 11/52. The neck has not budged.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
Value for money impeccable

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I tried the brand models above.
I felt that the investment for them was not justified in terms of qualities of this entry.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Excellent. At the time bought 350 euros. A perfect entry level guitar even situation.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Yes definitely
