Didnt know there were so many different models!.... My guitar is a cl clarissa GB400EL ,bowl back,electro accoustic,it has two sets of sound holes(upper&lower) surrounded by overlayed vaneered pieces cut in a kind of "gothic" shape.......it has a piezo pickup with 6 individual bridge pieces & the electro sound is contrilled with 2 knobs set on the top ..1 for volume 1 for tone. The overall colour is silvery blue through to black"sunburst" COMMENTS.............purchased about 5 years ago(from shop..£125) PLAYABILITY..........Initially had a high action but after some work to lower the action(both bridge & nut) plus a small adjustment to the truss...........its as sweet as a cherry,plays like a dream. STRINGS USED.........A goog quality set of medium guage..produces a reasonable unplugged sound. SOUND QUALITY........I use it mainly for home recording with a michrophone to pick out the sound because the electro sound is "thin". OTHER REMARKS........It has always had an annoying rattle from within the neck which I put down to the truss rod not having enough tension to pull it streight/clear & when enough is added the neck is then out of correction, so I live with it
