The G Series from Takamine has created great controversy. Play a G Series guitar and you're apt to think it's one of the finest acoustic/electrics made. That's because it is. Actually, each one is made under the commanding rule of the luthiers who hand craft the guitars of the pros, which is precisely why the G Series feel so good, and sound so good.

The contention, however, comes down to this: How can such fine instruments be so incredibly affordable? There is no simple answer. These guitars rival the mid and many upper line models of other popular makers. Be it construction, the woods chosen, or the playability, nothing in the G Series has been sacrificed. Fact is, the Takamine G Series even comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

This is just an excellent guitar. Extremely well crafted, with attention to detail that I have not seen in any other instruments I have owned. It's so comfortable to play and it sounds beautiful. Thank you Takamine.

Really amazing plugged in, just as great acoustically. It has a very rich and full sound, and a great bass response.

Love the built in tuner, the on-board EQ control is good.
Ease of Use
I really love the neck and just the entire overall feel of the guitar. It plays so easily, it's incredible.
Quality
Very well made, I have yet to find any flaws in finishing, fret work, etc. Just a top notch and beautiful guitar.

The worth goes above and beyond the the measly $500-or-so price tag. I will have this guitar for life, and I am confident it will serve me that long.
