Norman Studio ST40 Folk review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Norman Studio ST40 Folk guitar impresses with its well-crafted design and rich character, making it ideal for traditional fingerpicking styles and more unusual open tunings. Its all-solid wood construction, featuring a dark cedar top and solid mahogany back and sides, exudes a classical elegance, especially with its slotted headstock and absence of a pickguard. The guitar's mid-focused tone offers a smooth high end while maintaining a light bass, providing a compelling voice that stands out in band settings. Despite its slightly larger neck, it remains highly playable, making it a versatile choice for both fingerstyle and strumming.

Amazing !

Acheté 450€,c'est juste énorme. (elle en vaut 700) c'est une dreadnought, donc elle a un son dreadnought, t'aimes ou t'aimes pas. J'ai essayé des martin avant d'acheter, et bien je la préfère! La jouabilité est excellente, le son chaud et brillant. J'ai pas trouvé de défauts.

Mention spéciale au magnifiques mécaniques vintages.
