I bought a Carlos six string cutaway acoustic electric Model E238C. It appears to be mahogany back and sides with a solid spruce top and ebony fingerboard with stainless steel dot inlaid markers, scalloped X bracing, and enclosed stainless steel tuners. Neck is perfect; no warp, bow or twist and it has an adjustable steel truss rod. Frets are smoothly polished and even. The action is low and it plays fast and smooth. Big guitar with big clear sound and loud booming voice. The resonance and sustain are incredible. I own a Taylor 314ce, a Breedlove Pursuit Concert 25th anniversary, a 2005 Fender Strat, Gibson Les Paul Junior, Ibanez AG95, 1970s Yamaha Red Label, a Takamine Yairi classical, and an Alvarez Yairi classical. The Carlos is as good as any of them. I am keeping the Carlos!
