Hello,
Other points that I noted:
- The accuracy is better than on my D with open strings or 12th fret harmonics, the note is always right.
- I remember a debate on the fact that the brand lightened its original models, This one of 2003 is much lighter than my D1 of 2002.
- last point I would like the cranks to mount the ropes to be prohibited ...

Remi, It's difficult to figure out what you're trying to say in your last point:
"last point I would like the cranks to mount the ropes to be prohibited ..."


perhaps write it in French and we can translate for you.......

Thanks

Merci pour le traducteur... :roll:
J'ai ma D1 et la CJ dont les bords de la tête sont abimés par l'utilisation
des manivelles lorsque l'on monte des nouvelles cordes.
Pour ma part je tourne les mécaniques à la main et cela ne me prend pas de temps.
Merci à vous.

"I have my D1 & CJ, on both, the headstock edges have been damaged by string winders while changing strings.
Personally, I turn the tuners by hand, which really doesn't take any more time."

;)

Merci Remi !

& from your last post:
"I'd like to see string winders outlawed!"

hello to all,

It’s now 6 months that I play and replays this famous CJ Mh SB 2003.
This guitar amazes me by its depth, its note duration, its timbre and its projection which has nothing to envy to my D2h and D1.
The notes stand out more clearly, with more nuances for me, which allows to play on the attack while being modulated in the game.
I played recently (FBMA association bluegrass in France) with banjo, mandolin, bass and dobro to say that she always passed the "bar" with honor.
This is a success and a happiness for me, friends.

Rémi
