    Beautiful, holds tuning exceptionally well, and above all, comfortable both in playing and in weight. Its neck is in a C shape, not particularly thick. The mahogany helps a lot, which is neither too glossy nor completely matte, ensuring both its longevity and speed in playing. The top and sides are glossy, but not excessively.

    I have had it for 3 years now, and we are talking about an exceptional instrument that is worth every euro. Time has not touched it. It is a brand that few know. When I acquired it, I was quite hesitant. Of course, I trusted the opinion of the top musical instrument manufacturer in the city of Ioannina (and beyond), those who know, know. I decided to get it. Having had other musical instruments in my possession until then, I was looking for a good electro-acoustic without spending a fortune.

    It comes with a very good preamp system, Fishman Presys+, which gives you several options in EQ. Therefore, without being next to the console, you can modify your sound to some extent. The phase button, important, can solve feedback problems and works quite well. In short, even for semi-professional use in live performances, it will exceed expectations. The combination of woods gives a strong and bright sound, both in the midrange and treble. The bass is not as pronounced, but it is there as needed. It has a cheerful and bright tone, yet clear, which characterizes it (Elixir strings have been installed since the day of purchase, and it is permanently tuned with 10-47). After all, it is not a bass guitar, and I would not recommend it to "rebetes", although it can handle 11-52 or 53 strings as well. However, it is perfect for fingerpicking and strumming.

    4 stars, no one is perfect. And because the jack takes the same spot as the strap, so it slightly unscrews when you put on or take off the strap. It is not a construction mistake, but the only design flaw that personally bothers me.

    Overall, we are talking about a very high-quality instrument, well-made, that if you take care of it, it will accompany you throughout your musical and not only life, expressing exactly what you give it. It will never hold you back, no matter what your level is, on the contrary, it makes your life easier and definitely better.

    I may have delayed you a bit, but I hope I helped since this is the only review being written now.

Description

Semi-Acoustic guitar by Richwood. It is an acoustic guitar, meaning the sound is produced by the speaker in its body and it has metal strings, as opposed to the classical guitar which consists of a combination of metal and nylon strings. The difference from the "regular" acoustic guitar is that the electro-acoustic guitar also has a preamp with an integrated equalizer for treble, midrange, and bass. This allows it to be directly connected to an amplifier, which is why it is preferred for live performances.

Like any acoustic guitar, it is commonly played with a pick, unlike the classical guitar which is played with the fingers. The material of the strings and the playing technique also result in differences in the genre of music they are used for: the electro-acoustic guitar is preferred in modern Greek music as well as genres like rock, jazz, and country, while the classical guitar is suitable for classical music compositions and flamenco.

Due to the "cutaway" on its body, which is usually located at the 12th fret, it is characterized as a cutaway. This feature aims to facilitate playing on the higher frets, thus enabling the execution of a guitar solo.
