Sorta Happy Guitar Day
The Good:
It's adorable to look at.
It has a complex type sound to it, very woody, and still spanks because of the silk and steel strings and you can tell it's a well aged solid top.
The German carved back needs no bracing, so it's surprisingly loud and dynamic. I've never experienced a classical type guitar that sounds like this because I've only known throwaway models. I'm aching to throw a mic in front of it into my DAW. Intonation is even spot on with that little straight plastic bridge, which I didn't expect. Tuners hold spot on. And the overall neck profile is comfy*.
The bad:
The neck is more bowed than advertised and therefore the action is not enjoyable. I can play, but not anything faster or complex.
It also has no radius as to almost be concaved.
I've always hated classical guitars for that last reason.
So now I'm going to keep it because it does sound that great, I'll be straightening that neck myself (I've bought more expensive project guitars before) and I may be crazy, but I'm now contemplating putting a radius to the fingerboard. Maybe find a fretboard that fits first of all and see if I can radius and slot it first, and then replace it outright with help of a pro, but trying to reduce cost because it would be cheaper just to buy a modern parlor. Those however are not made like this (body wise) unless I spend big bucks for what would be a niche guitar.
We'll see, for now. I still find it very inspiring but limiting.
