Beautiful but needs luthier attention.
The guitar sounds good and rather loud.
Overall the guitar is well made and looks mint, but...
Straight from the box the string action is very high.
So I took the guitar to the luthier and after a full setup and string action correcting the guitar plays well but...
String action set to standard, I can hear bass strings rattle if strumming with some kick in it.
The problem is in uneven frets and slightly uneven bow in guitar neck.
The neck is more straight at 6 ; 5; 4 strings and less at strings 3 ; 2 and 1.
So to make the guitar sound perfect with no string rattle, it needs neck filing and re-fretting.
So you have to consider that if you receive one like I did, the luthier will ask 200-300€ for the neck repair and re-fretting.
The luthier said that most of this price level guitars have even worse necks and frets!
If you like your strings action high and/or you are gentle with your right hand, then you should be just fine!
I haven't use the guitar with the amp yet, but the built in tuner works(not the best I have used thought).
