Angel Lopez EC3000CBK

En löytänyt kovin hyviä arvosteluvideoita/ääninäytteitä omiin tarkotuksiini ja soittotyyliin, päätin kuitenkin tilata ja testata itse. Kitara tuli pian, jo parissa viikossa, ja se tuotiin mukavasti kotiovelle asti. Kitara on pakattu pahviseen laatikkoon.

Angel Lopez on todella tyylikkään näköinen kitara, sen tummaa olemusta katselee mielellään. Ja kultaiset hardwaret antaa kitaralle arvokkaan hehkun.

Kitarasta löytyy Low, Treble ja Volume säädöt, jotka riittävät mielestäni hyvin. Myös valo joka ilmoittaa kun patteri on lopussa. Käyttää 9V patteria.
Virittimet ovat tarkat. Piuha pysyy kitarassa jämäkästi sisällä.

Pienen totuttelun jälkeen soittotuntuma on erittäin mukava, kaula on melko ohut nylon kieliseksi, joten tuntuma ei ole niin kaukana sähkökitarasta.

Kitaran action oli hieman korkea omaan makuun, varsinkin korkealle mennessä. Sen sai nopeasti kuitenkin itselle mieluisaksi kaulapultteja säädettyä. Nyt kitaraa on juhla soittaa.

Hinta/laatusuhteeltaan omasta mielestäni erittäin hyvä kitara. Suosittelen.

I ordered this as I needed a nylon string for an upcoming gig, and this guitar seemed like good value. When I received the guitar, I was honestly blown away by the quality.

Firstly, it's a very striking looking guitar. The binding really adds to the instrument and the fingerboard is a beautiful slab of rosewood on an extremely comfortable mahogany neck. The fretwork is really excellent on this. Although there was very little neck relief when I received the guitar, this guitar has a truss rod so I was able to fix this very quickly.

In terms of hardware, the tuners are extremely smooth, accurate, and easy to turn (unlike many classical guitars I've played). The guitar sounds great plugged in and there is absolutely tons of volume on tap - far more than standard electric guitars, which I am used to.

I have only a couple of criticisms of this guitar. There's a bit too much volume on tap. This is mainly a problem when switching between instruments. I set this guitar to equal my archtop (so about halfway) but I found the volume control was being bumped higher by the underside of my arm when changing guitar. However, this problem can be easily fixed though by putting a piece of tape over the preamp. And for the price this is really a very small issue.

This is one of the nicest instruments I've owned, and according to a friend of mine, it compares very favourably to the Godin nylon range (which is considerably more expensive). I would thoroughly recommend this guitar to people looking for a nylon guitar for musicals/etc. It's also great for jazz players, and aside from bossa and latin styles this could definitely be used on straight ahead/bebop gigs as well. It's a keeper!

For the money, it's okay. Not as good as the real thing (the Canadian one). What I like: sound is okay; can't get close to classical guitar sound into a PA system (perhaps better for steel string; just don't try it). Individual note doesn't ring as good as the HB Nashville, but chord playing is decent (HB's preamp is too harsh for strumming). What I don't like: very high action. I already adjusted the truss rod, but still very high (higher than normal classical guitar action). If I want to lower further, I'll have to file down the saddle, which is a pain and risky. Just to say they don't put a whole lot of thought into the details. The fret ends are a little rough, but not quite annoying. Conclusion: good (since it doesn't cost a lot of money) to play on a couch.
