First of all, thanks to the entire advice team for their availability and quick online response, and especially to Stephane for the quality of his listening and the relevance of his advice. As for the Roadhouse: a very nice surprise, a look full of charm, endearing, impeccable finishes, clear and precise sound, the notes stand out well, the electronics are as simple as can be but effective and of quality on an AER, which is very convincing. Comfortable neck (For beginner amateurs: a bit tight for untrained fingers at first contact, but it's worth the effort as they break in and become very pleasant in a few days). In short, exactly what I was looking for, perfect small size for travel and a nice sound. Projection proportionate to the size which starts to open up after two days of playing, which is promising for a spruce top. After eight days, warmer and still precise sound. At this price (gigbag not mentioned on the site but included and of good quality) it's perfect.
