Custom Line CLA-15MCE : Fantastic guitar

6 years ago

I bought the Dreadnought version of this guitar to keep at my GFs place previously and ended up liking it so much that I decided I wanted something similar for the studio as well. And in all honesty the Auditorium model is even sweeter. The unit is an absolute beauty with no imperfections to catch the eye and the sound crisp and clean. I've mostly been a strummer previously but as this guitar is so extremely well suited for fingerstyle I find myself doing a lot more of that now, and my skill is improving just because playing it is so much fun!

As the strings that came on the Dreadnought were downright awful I put a fresh packet in with the order and expected to re-string the guitar first thing. However, to my surprise I found the default strings to be totally fine on this unit and I'm still playing the original string a couple of months after purchase.

As for cons, the only thing I've noticed is a tiny amount of vibration/buzz which I think originates from the cables of the pre-amp running on the inside of the guitar body from the tuner to the jack. when I re-string the guitar I will put some tape over this to keep it fixed in place.

All in all a lovely guitar at an unbeatable price and I highly recommend it!
