• Awesome Guitar at a Great Price!

  
  As reviewed by Debo on 3/31/2010

  I purchased this guitar two weeks ago at my local guitar center. I played several other guitars/brands in this price range and didn't even consider Takamine. I was waiting on a sales associated after I had made my selection (almost purchased another brand guitar) and picked this guitar up by chance. I was amazed at the feel and tone of this guitar. I quickly changed my mind an ended up with this beauty (red). The picture does not do this guitar justice. You have to see it person to truly appreciate its beauty and quality. The on-board tuner is a plus. The guitar was great out of the box, but I plan to have a professional setup done. I would definitely recommend this guitar!

  I got this guitar for Christmas and so far I am very happy with it. I love the charcoal color, sometimes it looks almost purple! Of course just because I like the color a lot, that doesn't mean that's the only good thing about this guitar! I love the bright clean sound, and the feel of it. It sounds better than the red one I tried out two days ago, and the feel is amazing, as is the cutaway. It is very easy to get to the top frets. Now this guitar is also an electric, so let me talk about that... The controls are very easy, and the tuner is an extra plus. Even though I don't need a tuner to tune my guitars, it's nice to have one. It's an extra precaution, but it also lets me get my guitar almost perfectly tuned. When playing through an amp, it doesn't sound as clean and bright as playing acoustic, but it still sounds pretty damn good!!!! And as I said, it is very simple to control. There are the equalizers, and the gain. The gain is actually the volume. One thing about this guitar though, it doesn't come with a hard case, or even a gig bag. When you buy this guitar, be ready to also buy a case. I opted for the $40 roadrunner acoustic case. There is also a $50 one with extra pockets and better straps, but I would suggest getting the Takamine hard case. Overall, I would suggest this guitar to beginners and experienced players. Being an experienced player I can honestly say that. As maybe your first acoustic guitar or even you very first guitar. It is fantastic!!!!!!!! P.S. Just as en extra note, there is no twelfth fret marker on the players view, there is on the actual fretboard though. That means you don't see two dots, but your audience does.

  This Tak was amazing right out of the box. I ordered the Charcoal color since they didn't carry it in the store. Strange. But this guitar sounds great unplugged or plugged in. Super comfortable neck and fingerboard. Great action and just an unbelievable tone! You definitley get a great deal with this guitar. Also, the Takamine electronics are great. The tuner is a great feature to have on board. I've had this guitar for about a week and I'm super siked about her first gig next month!
