  I can't find another word to describe this guitar. While the pictures are good, you really need to see it first hand to appreciate the beauty of the honey burst finish, it is just plain gorgeous. from a playability perspective, I expected to need a professional setup service performed as I had done with my other guitars, but this beauty needed nothing. The string height is perfect, and it is extremely easy to play with no vibration when you really hammer it. Lastly, it sounds beautiful - the tone and clarity rival the Martin jumbo, which I have played on numerous occasions before making this purchase. I do highly reccommend replacing the factory strings with Martin light gauge 4100's. I have used these exclusively now for a couple years, and for sound quality they cannot be beat, especially on this guitar. If you've been wanting a jumbo, this is the guitar for you. For almost a year, I wnet to GC and played this guitar and the Martin jumbo for 30 mins to 1 hr just to make sure what I wanted...I am extremely happy with the results...BTW I also purchased a Marshall AS100D Amp...It is a superb pairing, like a fine wine with a great steak!!!!

• wow

  I titled this wow, because that is all I can say after playing this guitar. I had been shopping for a guitar that would be in a class all of its own, and boy did I get that. I had been looking hard at the Taylor's and Martins , but both were missing that long high tone, they seem to give up on it too soon. This guitar loves to hold that tone , for a very long time, almost a full 30 secs after your done with the last note, now how is that for longevity. I did do one thing, I took off the strings it came with, they were coated, and coated stings are not what this guitar needs, it needs, martin 4100's , they sound so good on it , you will not want to put it down. If you are looking for that special tone out of a guitar, you need not look any further, this guitar has it all, the split saddle is a wonderful feature, takes the tension and really puts it to good use. The 1-5/8 neck is perfect for smaller hands, there just is not other guitar like this one. Playing this guitar is like floating over clouds, your hands just seem to float over the strings. I really want to point one thing out, about this guitar it plays "SO EASY" anyone would love it. I love this guitar and its style. The sunburst is so cool and bright at the same time. Everyone who has seen this guitar, does the ohhh and ahhhs .

• Real good buy...

  
  As reviewed by G.K. on 3/28/2011

  I bought this as an upgrade to the two Takimine 523sc's i had in less than a month. Both returned due to electronic issues. I recieved this guitar in high hopes and was ledt down hard. The guitar was poorly packaged,the neck had a severe backbow,and after proper adjustment the action was a mile off the neck. After 5 short min of playing the "Honeyburst EG523CDX" i promptly repackaged it and sent it back. The only reason i didnt rate this guitar a complete zero was to the fact that its a pretty guitar. As far as sound quality and playability,its a flat ZERO. Low end junk at a higher price point. Just speaking the truth.I bought a Breedlove Atlas D25/SR for a hubndred dollars more and never looked back. I will never buy a Junkamine again.
