 Liikanen Kantare I500C Classical Guitar "Quite simply the best guitar in this price range I have tried" - Stuart Willis, October 2007. Stuart, a guitar tutor from Sunderland, was sent an I500C to review but he wouldn't send it back - instead he bought it for his nephew. The I500C is the top of the Liikanen Kantare range of classical guitars. It has a stunning sound - great sustain; a bold, full tone but one capable of subtelties too; and a dynamic range well beyond the ordinary.
"I am delighted with the guitar. The tone and projection are excellent. It is a beautiful instrument and great value for money. I am sure it will raise interest in Liikanen guitars amongst my musical acquaintances, with thanks" The sound quality is influenced by 3 factors
"The Liikanen I500 is a very good instrument for the price - well set-up and finished. The sound is clear with strong basses, the overall sound quality superior to many other instruments in this price bracket" The guitar is finished to a very high standard to a high gloss finish. It has a beautifully bookmatched solid Indian rosewood back, solid Indian rosewood sides, and a deep-toned and subtly patterned cedar soundboard. The rosette has a striking geometric pattern and the bindings feature a lovely contrasting hue. It has Gotoh tuners and a rosewood bridge with bone saddle. The bindings on the sides of the neck covering the fret ends are a beautiful touch not normally found on instruments in this price bracket The action is comfortable and the instrument well set up. The Kantare I500C offers truely exceptional value for money and in terms of both sound- and build-quality gives its better-known rivals a run for their money!
