History:
Purchase: I was looking for a mid-priced acoustic with a great sound and tone.I had originally was shifting toward a Washburn J-12 but the saleman at Mannys Music in NYC. showed my this very plain,solid cedar top Norman guitar.I really liked its vibracy and action and it's made in Quebec, Canada and was selling for $320! man what a great guitar!The Washburn was made in China and the action wasn't as good.
What I Like About This Unit: The playability is good,the action very good,the sustain is great,tone awesome!
What I Do NOT Like About The Norman ST-40: Its looks are plain and clean.not a showoffs guitar
ST-40 Quality: Excellent quality throughout. Its a solid cedar top with a honduran mohogany neck,back and sides I believe are laminated mohogany with a center layer of cherry.Tuners are very good as well
Summary: This guitar is made by the same company that makes Godin and Seagull guitars (Lasido inc.),it's an awesome guitar for the money.Go and play one you'll like it too!And it's made here in the western hemispere(support the usa and canada)where the best guitars are crafted.
