Delighted with this guitar which offers real pleasure to play. The look is great, the sound on a tube amp is very good. The neck is comfortable, no issues with the frets. The sound is woody. Maybe I would consider changing the tuners, tuning is sometimes unstable but that might be due to the new strings installed. To be seen over time. Satisfying purchase!

Very beautiful guitar. I was a bit apprehensive about the sound without an amp but in the end it is great and obviously even better when plugged into the amp.

The guitar meets my expectations. At this price, you can't expect a perfect product, but it does the job. A small regret about the tuning pegs that hold the tuning moderately well, but apart from that, very happy.
