Here's the skinny on this guitar. I own it. It is very nice sounding guitar, with the standard Takamine clarity and tone. The pickups in their guitars are excellent. It is also a very comfortable guitar to play, especially if you have smaller hands - most Takamines have nice thinner necks (which is why I prefer this brand) for those of us with smaller hands. Here's the downside. B/c of the guitar shaped sound hole, this guitar can have problems with feedback. There is no solution to this b/c of the shape of the sound hole - you can't buy a fix. I play this thru a Fender Acoustisonic and get great sound, most of the time I can pull back the feedback issues using the tone knobs, but you might not be so lucky. I wouldn't buy this guitar again - I'd go with a Take with a less funky sound hole (round!). Also, if you have a percussive style, I would recommend installing a pickguard cause otherwise it can get damaged easily.
I have 3 acoustics, and have played many acoustics, but by far, this is the best sounding gutar I have ever played or owned! Honestly, I got this guitar because Mr. Garth Brooks plays it, and he is one of my favorite singers/gutar players. I trusted that this guitar would be good, seeing that every time Garth played it, it sounded fanominal! Well, it is good, it is actually better than good, it's Excellent! The feel, the sound, everything just works! I have had no problems with the guitar shaped sound hole, actually, I think it makes the sound better. This guitar also has excellent electronics. No popping or any unwanted sounds when you plug it in. The sound, unplugged, just blows you away at how loud it can be. I would highly reccommend this guitar, not because it looks good or a legend plays it, but more because of its playability and sound. When Garth designed this, he knew what he was doing, and if I could, I would buy another! It's just a wonderful guitar!
Professional guitarist who plays all the time. I don't just play a gig every now and then, I do studio work, gigs, play in a band, recordings with other artist, etc. So, since this is what I do, I have to have the best equipment for sound and playability. I bought this guitar a few years ago and fell deeply in love with not only the sound but the appearance and feel of how it plays. Takamine out did themselves on this one! Garth must have told them he was going to make one just like it and sell it exclusively at Wal Mart, if they didn't make a Premium Guitar, so they certainly did! The guitar has all the nice abalone on the rosette, and the double bone bridge, and Gold tuners, etc, etc. But, the sound and the way the neck feels has just got to be as sweet as you will EVER play! The Cedar top is really ringing as soon as you play it. It will need no aging to mellow out. If you have not played this Gal, then try to find one any way you can, for they do not stock them at many stores. Too expensive I guess, but I would pay twice as much now that I own one and after years of giging all over the country, she is still as sweet sounding and really takes the pounding too. Be sure and buy a better case, like the Pro Series to protect her, she is definitely worth a couple hundred more bucks!
