Overtones
The guitar was bought having compared it in-store with the all solid Fender Paramount 220 series , an epiphone L00 and a Godin alternative.
The sound was great 'out of the box' and I was surprised at the guitar's capacity to take lowered tunings without compromising intonation. The action was set up to maximise playability and encourages use of the higher frets with surprisingly good sustain and clarity of tone up to 17th fret.
As I play unamplified in large rooms, I prefer volume to playability, I have fitted a taller bone bridge saddle and this has improved the lower frequency response.
This is a much better guitar than the Gretch Jim Dandy, Recording King 'dirty 30's'/Vintage parlour offerings & gives a much broader tonal range when fingerpicking.
