James Neligan EW3000 CN

Goed klinkende gitaar, wel erg slecht afgesteld afgeleverd.

Zo uit de doos was de gitaar erg slecht afgesteld, de hals heb ik met shims meer achterover gezet, de brug lager gemaakt, hals rechter gezet. Ook moesten er nieuwe snaren op, de geleverde snaren waren geoxideerd. Een van de hals schroeven was dolgedraaid, met wat reepjes hout en lijm weer dicht moeten maken.

Na dit werk was de gitaar goed bespeelbaar, QC had hier wat beter zijn best mogen doen, zo lever je geen gitaar af.

Blij verrast met deze gitaar. Na jaren elektrisch wat meer richting akoestisch willen gaan. Perfecte tussenweg tussen elektrisch en akoestisch, met name qua omvang. Ook onversterkt klinkt de gitaar prima en duidelijk. Bijzonder fijn vind ik de mogelijkheid om oordoppen/koptelefoon direct achterin te pluggen: ik had niet verwacht dat dit zo goed zou klinken.

De standaard snaren zou ik persoonlijk wel direct vervangen. En in mijn geval was aan de topzijde van de schuifjes was de lak/hout iets minder mooi afgewerkt.

Verder echt top. Ik ben blij mijn plezier in gitaar spelen terug gevonden te hebben voor deze prijs!

I bought the James Neligan EW3000 CN based on a You Tube review, but without actually seeing or playing the guitar. Fortunately It turned out to be a good choice. The guitar is well made ( very well made considering price). It is quite lightweight and very comfortable to play with nice action. On board electrics are excellent and produce a great variety of sounds when played through my Yamaha THR5A amp. I am a strummer rather than a solo artist and this guitar is excellent for me

So to start, I've only been playing for roughly a month, and needed something quiet since I live in an apartment and also have small children who go to bed early.

So, as for the guitar, It feels really good to play on. I have a yamaha acoustic I started on, and this guitar feels really good compared to it except for the action. Sadly, the action is better on my 50$ pawn shop guitar. The one thing I do need done is a proper set up, and since the only place near me charges $100 for a basic set up, I'll have to wait on that.

The over all quality of the instrument is nice though. It not loud at all, it has the headphones jack that helps me hear the sound better and the sound is very clear. As for the tone nobs, I wish there was some instructions on which nob did what. I mean yes its easy enough to figure out how to make it louder, but as for the other three, It would be nice to get some insight on which one did what. Since I am still new, they all sound the same to me except for very small differences.

AS I get better, I may come back and understand more, I'll post an update, but for now. It works as intended, fits my current needs, but probably shouldn't be worth the price paid.
