Is great..but

The sound is sweet. I tuned 39 times (yesterday i get it) and the strings is soft, maybe for this.. the sound have a little unbalance, the 6th -5-4 strings is little lower the volume and i need to check the saddle if is flat.. this is not good (the fretboard is very good job and the saddle very cheap?) the action is like electric guitar in the limit of hi action but i play easy..and is easy to make it lower the action.. i hope for the tuning the problem is the strings. the weight is not heavy...i don't know why people saying this.. i get the package from the courier and i freak out thinking they didn't put the guitar inside..i have 6 guitars and this is not in heavy category.😳

It's okay. For the money.

I own a Godin Multiac nylon. Bought this one to compare against it. Build quality is really good; I have zero complaints. It's the sound that's the problem. This seems suitable only for arpeggio. Definitely not good for strumming. Single notes ring really nice individually, but chords? Nah. So, for the money, it's okay.

Great tone

I like the feel of the guitar I like the design . It's ok to practice with unplugged but it sounds really good when plugged in ( I use Harlequin amp).

Excellent stand

I use this guitar at home, mainly unplugged in the evening. It is heavier than I expected as it is completely solid, the holes are only a few mm deep. It really is a nylon guitar with the physical characteristics of an electric, albeit with a wider flatter fretboard.

Overall appearance is good from a distance, but there are some natural blemishes in the top and the staining around the fretboard binding/body is not great up close. No big deal for me.

The piezo sounds great on the bottom 5 strings, but the top e is much quieter. I'm hoping that I can adjust the sensor position when I restring it. The bass and treble controls give plenty of useful variation.

It holds tune well and intonation is good all the way up the board.

Overall I'm very happy. The guitar is great for quiet practice and at this price I don't expect an AAA top and finish perfection.

Note: I couldn't cure the quiet top 'e' - the piezo element seems too short to cover all the strings!!

Classical nylon string electro

A real quality build and superb guitar for very little money. Looks stunning and sounds great through acoustic amp or a good DI and straight to PA or speaker. Light, plays well - should be great for gigging. It's set up quite high out of the box but replace the bridge with a lower bone one and there's also good truss rod adjustment. Sounds reasonable for practice unplugged but hook it up to the Fishman Aura DI, dial in your favourite setting for classical guitars and it sounds as good as a top notch instrument. I replaced the truss rod cover with a wooden one and again it looks great. Now gigging with it in small venues - something different for the punters.

Had to buy this guitar because it seemed very intresting, great specs and good looking. Out of the box the action was not to my taste and the stock strings where a bit dull. So had to do little work on the action and change the strings. It still has some sharp frets and some string buzz that needs to be taken care of, but otherwise the guitar has a nice feel to it. Theres not much acoustic sound from the guitar but ut still sounds good acousticly. Pluged in is when this guitar srarts to shine. It has a very nice sound and the trebke and bass pots have a large spectrum so you dail in all kinds of nkce sounds. But the electronics in the guitar are a bit cheap, but i guess they are easy to change. Even if the guitar has a few faults I love it.
