Custom Line CLA-15M : Nice playing acoustic

4 years ago

I'm an advanced beginner to intermediate guitar player. I'm not a musician or tech, so my assessments are personal and subjective

Finish- really nice. Love the woodgrain and the guitar and neck feel nice in the hand

Sound- I had the dreadnought version of this, and the sound of CLA is more trebly, but that's very subjective. It sounds good to my ear.

Tuners are the weak part, a little hesitant and jumpy. I'd glad pay 20-30 euro more on the purchase price for better ones

Strings need to be changed. The ones that are fitted are good quality but a little aged from sitting in the warehouse.

I'll use it for learning fingerpicking blues, and occasional strumming. I was mostly attracted by the size as I found the CLD-15M dreadnought a little too big for comfortable playing, buy again that's personal. I'm average height so if you're taller you might prefer a bigger body guitar.

The other size advantage of the CLA is in storage. I keep 3 of my guitars in the living room and space is at a premium.

Highly recommended guitar for the price, and even if it cost a little more.
