CG300CE NT : Sold It

This guitar sounded good acoustically. Electrically the volume needed to be put on maximum. Maybe the preamp was bad. The treble needed to be put near maximum. The action was slightly high at the nut and saddle for a classical instrument. I really liked the cutaway design.

Intonation wasn't good. It wasn't the worst but it was not good enough for me. The finish was nearly flawless. On the bridge there was a rectangular inlay under the thick finish. It wasn't centered side to side. That annoyed me. Such a simple thing to adjust. It wasn't the type of inlay that was set into the wood. It was the type like a sticker that gets placed on top, similar to headstock labels. These disappointments meant that it didn't get played very often. So it was sold to a beginner player.

This was the first of three HB instruments that disappointed me. I doubt I'll ever buy another HB instrument without examining it first. I live in the USA.
