    What Is the difference between this Takamine and it's $1,300 dollar brother ? At first glance they look the same . I play a lot of Ñorteno music and this guitar is a staple in the world of corridos . I plan to use this guitar for live performances and recording .: Product Quality

    Open Reply - anonymous
    The overall build quality of the thing for instance. Matte or gloss finish. The design of the bracing. Back construction (2 piece or 3 piece for example). Some obvious things as well like 6 or 12 stings, body shape and size, number and size of frets, neck length etc.

    Can you put the guitar strap on it so you can play while standing up? Can you hook it up to the amp?: Usage

    Yes, Takamine acoustic guitars are equipped with two strap pins – one at the lower bout, and the other at the top horn. This is an Acoutic-Electric and can be connected to an amplifier.
