## Description

Antique Burst Acoustic Guitar

Review: WOW! OUTSTANDING! I Can't Put This Guitar Down! I Love it! - It speaks so readily -- it just wants to be played! The tone and projection astound me. I have a 12-string Seagull dreadnaught (same company) that I love and which makes a huge and glorious sound. This little bitty parlor guitar not only holds its own in such company, it sings! The quality of intonation, clarity, playability, materials, readiness to speak (responsiveness), and workmanship is remarkable and rare! Comparable guitars would run easily 2x - 3x the price! This little guitar is a peach! (It could lose the cheesy plastic appliqué rosette. Shame on Godin for stooping to shoddiness in a material. Quite a mistake!)
Review: NOT MADE IN CHINA... and so much more. - UPDATE: So I bought this a few years ago. I've mistreated her often, played her hard, and forgot to put it away... plenty. She still sings. Mine sustains and resonates an A,.... forever. The action has risen noticeably over the years, but not unplayable by any means. When you play it, it emits the most awesome Cedar aroma... from it's top. Too bad this guitar is unavailable. Real honest to goodness wood. NOT made in China. Fretboard rosewood is beautifully finished with open pores. Satin finish isn't perfect, but the thing is gorgeous so it doesn't matter. Put it next to your favorite chair and you won't be able to resist playing it. Oh, and the cedar aroma is out of this world. The sound is rich and full and will fill a small room quite nicely. Out of the box, the action was on the high side but certainly playable. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the applique rosette around the sound hole. Art and Lutherie claim it's there, like rosettes typically are, to strengthen the wood around the hole which, if it was a problem, you'd think they could have done something on the inside of the hole so no one would see it. In any event, I'm still thrilled with the purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the overall body length?**
A: the body length is listed as 18.5 inches. the case I bought for mine is 42 inches total length. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QOGLW0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I have guitars that cost a lot more than this one but, the Ami is the one I mostly reach for.

**Q: Does this guitar have a solid top, back, and sides.  Also are the strings steel or nylon.**
A: Steel strings- solid top, bottom and sides. Beautiful guitar.

**Q: Is the action high?**
A: I measured mine.  The action (or string height) on my Ami at the 12 fret is: approximately 3mm for the treble E string (that's standard classical height), and approximately 4.5mm for the bass E string (maybe 0.5 mm higher than standard classical height).  Great projection and no buzzes anywhere, using phosphor bronze lightweight strings -- straight out of the box with no custom setup.  Perfect for me.  If you want to lower the action, you can sand down the bottom of the bridge saddle (the action is already quite low at the nut).  Your local guitar shop can do that for you.  It's not expensive.

**Q: Does it come with carry case**
A: Yes it comes with a nice well padded soft case. It is an awesome guitar and made me very aware if how well made the Godin products from Canada are. Enjoy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guitar for its size
*by S***. on March 17, 2014*

This guitar exceeds my expectations. It is smaller than regular size acoustic guitar, but has full sound. Quality is is also excellent. Guitar was packaged well and arrived undamaged. Also, to my surprise came with a nice soft case, which I was not expecting.
