Fascinating good friend

The guitar is very player-friendly and easy to play. It's very beautiful and vintage looking. Came with a good setup, no actions needed. The guitar is pretty lightweight, has smaller body.

The tuners look great and work stable. The same for the nut, bridge and tailpiece. Like the frets, slides are smooth as possible. The neck has perfect width (for me, at least), and very comfortable to play difficult chords and to play with a thumb.

Acoustically, it's fun to play and has that archtop sound. But it's not that rich and quieter comparing to the regular acoustic. Especially when u use flat wounds, play fingerstyle without nails and pick. So consider it's as an electric guitar.

Amplified, it's amazing. That warm jazz sound is possible! Also, u can get crispy funky sound if u put less tone and play closer to the bridge. So fun to play.

The disadvantage is that it's noisy. I'm a newbie in the electric world, and didn't hear in any watched review that it can be noisy. It's not that bad at all, but annoys when it comes to recordings, especially when recording multitracks. For recordings, I'd go with humbuckers. Otherwise, I'd stay with P90, because it can be that warm, clear and crisp.

No regrets I bought it.

Great Guitar

Great build and sound. Very happy with this instrument.
