hollywoodrox Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 anyone know much about these ^ have seen them advertised but hardly any reviews, I like the look of it, have heard some negative stuff on stratacoustic and telecoustic standards, ibanez talman seems my fave at the moment for a small body in this style but I do like the look of this ew3000 http://www.thomann.de/gb/stagg_james_neligan_ew3000_cbk.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've had one for over a year, loads of gigs, loads of compliments from musos and, crucially, non musos on the sound!! Lots of dropped jaws at the price, an utterly fantastic instrument that I use alongside my epi ej200 for two or three gigs a week. My only criticism is that the bridge pins have to be held in during restringing. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Not unusual for bridge pins to want to pop out when re-stringing. As a former Godin Acousticaster owner, I wonder where they got their inspiration. Hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm keen to know how this guitar has performed so far... Any update....? Cheers Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywoodrox Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sorry guy, s I have played out with it twice now , I really like it , it is light and comfy and easy to play, my fellow guitar players seem to like it as well, from what I have heard it sounds nice, someone else is responsible for the P.a at local jams so you sort of get what you get, playing it down the pub thursday with a friend on the p.a. who usualy gets a nice sound. It sounds nice through my marshall valvestate 20 too, I let a pro player borrow it for a set and he enjoyed it. I really love it, super xmas present. It feels well made and looks great, thats about all I can say at present, the pre amp seems quite powerful and can be left flat at middle with a little bass cut, and some treble if you dont like a piezo toppy sound, for about 190 something it is a decent bit of kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi and thanks for the update. I've been looking for a thin bodied guitar that will give me a good acoustic tone and that one seems to fit the bill. I was in my local store yesterday and they had a used Line 6 Variax Acoustic 700 for sale. It promises a lot, especially when paired with one of their floor pedals. I couldn't try it out fully as it had a fault but I'm going back next week to take a closer look. I still can't figure out if the Neligan is a solid body or not.

hollywoodrox Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thoman says it is a laminated spruce top with a solid spruce body , the box says it is a solid top, and doesn, t mention the body, I, lost the flippin hang tag a lot of as, s say solid body, it is so light though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 That's why I was unsure about the construction. If it has a solid body, why would it have a laminated top..? But the fact that it's light is really all I need to know. Thanks for the info.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'd expect a carved, chambered body, though nothing fancy and spruce may well = pine. HWR - just rapping with your knuckles on the top should tell you if it's hollow or solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywoodrox Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Its still hard to tell, it does have access for the pre amp etc and the battery cut out at the back , knocking does not reveal a drum like sound , people seem to enjoy playing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Probably not very hollow then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obray Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 The top is spruce veener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
