Why Buy the
JC-800
13 reasons why
the JC-800 is the best
acoustic electric guitar for less than
$1000.
1. Solid-Top
Soundboard
|
 |
Much
better sound and durability than laminated soundboard.
The soundboard is more important than any other part in
terms of how the guitar sounds. If the guitar you are
considering does not specify that it has a "solid-top"
soundboard, then it is likely a laminated-top. |
Solid-top soundboards offer a much
better vibration. They also provide a much more pure
acoustic tone than laminated-top soundboards. In addition,
solid-top soundboards sound better with time, while the
sound from laminated-top soundboards worsens over time, since
the laminated layers loosen over time.
2.
Top-of-the-Line, Built-In Electronics
4-band
equalizer with built-in Piezo electric pickup. The
four-band equalizer allows you to control the broad range of
frequencies (presence, treble, middle, and bass) when
connected to an amp. It is also conveniently located where it
can be easily adjusted while playing. Between the Piezo pickup
and the EMI shield painting, you will only get the most
crisp and pure sounds, without interference or feedback.
3. Double Truss
Rod
No
warping, bending, or twisting of neck and bridge. The
double rod through the neck and bridge results in far more
stability and support than the typical single truss rod. Plus,
the double truss rod system means seasonal adjustments are not
necessary, while also resulting in better sounding notes.
4. Adjustable
Truss Rod
Allows you to adjust
strings to ideal height. The JC-800
acoustic-electric guitar comes standard as a "low
action" guitar, meaning the strings are set closer to the
frets. Most people prefer low action. However, the JC-800's truss system does offer the capability of being
adjusted, so you can ensure the perfect string height
for your individual needs and preferences.
5. Sealed,
Opalescent Machine Heads with Decorative
Headstock High-precision
tuners that keep dust and dirt out. The DC Deluxe uses
die-cast tuners with a 14:1 gear ratio. These precision-cut
gears allow you to perfectly tune your guitar quickly and
easily, without slippage or backlash. The sealed lubricant
means that the machine heads will last a lifetime.
Comparable replacement tuners typically sell for between $50
and $100.
6. Ivory ABS
Binding
Keeps edges intact.
Ivory ABS is a very strong binding, protecting the edges from
impact. Acoustic guitars without binding around the edges can
fall apart with even the slightest bump on the edge. The JC Deluxe not only has binding around the edges on the body,
but also along the edges of the neck and headstock, for
complete protection.
7. Perfectly
Tight Seams
Maintain
quality, durability, and appearance. The construction
of the JC-800 is so "seamless", it almost feels
and looks as though it is made from a single piece of wood.
You will not see any glue protruding from seams anywhere on
the guitar.
8. Cutaway
Body Style
 |
Allows
you to reach frets closest to sound hole. Not only is
the cutaway style more attractive, but it also enhances your
ability to better play the guitar. The cutaway enables you to
play all the frets, not just the ones beyond the body of the
guitar. |
9.
Jumbo
Body Size (Cutaway Style)
|
 |
Better
volume and tone. The bigger the size of the guitar
body, the better the sound. The JC-800 is actually a
little bigger than the dreadnought body size, making it one of
the best sounding acoustic guitars available for any price.
|
10. Fretboard
Advantage
Makes
guitar easier to play. The rosewood used in the making
of the fretboard make it very strong and comfortable on the
fingers while playing. This, in addition to the cutaway body
style of the JC-800, allows you to easily play the
frets all the way down to the sound hole.
11. Genuine
Inlay Abalone/Pearl
|
|
 |
|
Around
sound hole and between frets. Inlay pearl
does as much as anything to enhance the appearance of the
guitar. The genuine abalone inlay around the
sound hole adds color and sparkle to the body of the
guitar, while the white, mother of pearl inlay
squares between the frets give the JC Deluxe acoustic-electric
guitar a serious touch of class. |
12. Handcrafted
in South Korea
By certified technicians.
Korea has a fantastic reputation for making top-quality
guitars, and the Peal is among the best to come out of this
nation steeped on guitar-making tradition.
