I like it a lot, not having any experience on any acoustics my review is not backed up by experience , so you can take it with a grain of salt.
I really like the sound and the playability, much better than the godin a8 . very nice resonance, I like the radiused fretboard , for me it makes some chords easier like f7 .
The instrument was taken very well care of , there is a crack on the FF bottom right as you look at it, which was repaired and fully disclosed by the seller , so no problem there, but the rest has almost no wear , for a 16 year old , it is in great shape.
well balanced , maybe a little stronger on the E would be good, but again that may be normal for mandos. on violins getting a sweet E is a challenge. The pickup works great , the neck feel is also very good for my hands.
I am used to a speed neck, but a little hesitant to do this to this neck as it is very nice wood and flame, so I will play it for a while before thinking abou that.
What recommendations do you have for a case. I would like to leave the strap on, in the case, I cannot do this with the tweed case that came with it. .
thanks for all the help with this!! kevin
