Постоянно пада напред, което се очаква от формата на китарата, но все пак трябва да се има предвид. Тунерите не са особено добри и след няколко бенда струните вече не са точни. Звукът на прагчетата от 12 нататък е ужасен, а и преди тях не е особено хубав. Единственият позитив е, че е сравнително малка и лека и е компромисен вариант, ако отивате на почивка и ви се свири, но иначе не препоръчвам.
It constantly falls forward, which is to be expected from the shape of the guitar, but still something to be aware of. The tuners are not very good and after a few bands the strings are no longer accurate. The sound of the frets from 12 onwards is terrible, and before them it is not very good either. The only positive is that it is relatively small and light and is a compromise option if you are going on vacation and you feel like playing, but otherwise I do not recommend it.

Everything is more than it could be expected, only the balance is not good, and "upper" strap buton is in wrong place, and the belt often falls out . Needs better strings, fine bridge and nut setup, and let's rock'n'roll!

Gitara svojimi malými rozmermi a malou hmotnosťou je predurčená ako cestovná. Jedinou chybou je, že nie je vyvážená - krk je ťažší ako telo, po zavesení sa prevažuje na stranu ladiacej mechaniky, pri sedení sa bez popruhu ťažko na nej hrá, lebo je taká ľahká, že sa kĺže po stehne dole. Komponenty na nej vyzerajú byť kvalitné.
