Very warm sound
The_Lane 05.02.2022
Very high quality sound, very warm and soft. The appearance of the guitar is very different from the video reviews and photos,the neck of the guitar is made of a completely different material, the pegs on the neck are also completely different, not covered with rubber. The guitar is very light in weight, I thought quite differently, all the same, it is completely made of solid wood.

The best guitar I have bought
Bob1337 17.08.2023
PROs:
- Amazing sound
- Very easy to play
- Great build quality
- Pickup is good for percussion

CONs:
- Some small visual defects on some places, nothing major
- The pickup system is great for recording percussion, but the guitar itself doesn't sound really good, it's pretty distorted, though generally most pickups don't sound too good

Overall I love the guitar, it was perfectly set up by Thomann they also changed both the nut and saddle. It's extremely easy to play, even with higher gauge strings (12/53), it's easier to play than my Guild DS-240, which uses 11/52.

Good guitar
sobino 30.03.2023
Finish: Setup is OK no problem, good. Tension not too high, comfortable. Only strings has to be change for maybe some XT Daddarios or Elixir. Neck is wider for bigger hands (guiet fat) as normal 43mm, not comfortable too much, but I play on every nut types guitars. Tuning machine is from China, it feels cheap but no problem with tuning at all.

Sound: Sound is good, not high end, but for this price range it´s fine. Good amount of bass, light low-end, middles and highs are more clearer than on Spruce/mahagony guitars, but not sharp at all. Fingerpickers good choice. If you want to improve sound on this guitar you need to change plastic bone nut and saddle for BONE nut, than it will shine this guitar much more.

Electronics: BR 2.1 pickup is piezo+mic. First time I tried to dial good sound wasn´t easy, but next time I quiet found how to dial sounds. For me Onboard tuner is average and I wasn´t satisfied too much with piezo+mic blending.

Overall: This guitar is ALL SOLID absolutely, I can confirm Solid cedar, solid mahagony back and sides. This guitar is good, not inspirative one for me. If you setup this guitar as i wrote it will be really good guitar for this price.... I was comparing with Yamaha fsx 3 and Yamaha won with sound but failed with electronics.

Rapporto qualità prezzo IMPRESSIONANTE!
Chi vuole vedere e ascoltare meglio questa AR81C/ACE Natural, e altre chitarre marchiate Baton Rouge, vada sul canale yt di " Eiro Naret " (quì lascio il link al video con la AR81 un'anno dall'acquisto posso dire che la qualità costruttiva, dei materiali e del suono, estremamente bilanciato, valgono davvero i soldi che ho speso.
Nel complesso uno strumento estremamente suonabile, orientato prevalentemente al fingerstyle, data la forma della cassa armonica, la scala corta e i 46mm al capotasto.
Adatto ai pro che non vogliono spendere cifre esorbitanti e agli intermedi che vogliono fare un level-up.

P.S. Tenere in mano uno strumento così bello, solido e al contempo leggero è un'esperienza estremamente gratificante.
