About This Product!
Description
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. But what we can tell you is that 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.

If there is one guitar that usually winds up being your first guitar, or the guitar in your collection you play most often, it's the Dreadnought. Because of this, Takamine G Series Dreadnoughts are designed to be special instruments. Guitars that will grow with you. Guitars that will feel as comfortable in your hands as your favorite old blue jeans feel on your body.

The necks ... needless to say, are flawless. Professionally tapered with a radius fingerboard and a 1-9/16 in. nut width, your fingers will glide through chords and scales as easily as a knife slices through butter.

Above all are the electronics that find their home in these stringed instruments. The preamps in the G Series are the very same style and performance systems that were found on Takamine's pro series guitars. Also in the G Series line is a grand 12 string. Cutting high notes balanced with a booming bass are produced by its super resonant spruce top. This guitar sings with superb clarity and colorful contrast.

In the early 90s, Takamine introduced the "NEX" body style. This small-bodied acoustic with its characteristic cutaway has quickly gained universal acceptance. By popular demand, the G Series is now available in this beautifully shaped body style as well. Nato or rosewood adorn the backs and sides of the G Series while all feature select spruce or cedar tops. The result is a big, resonant sound with unsurpassed clarity and sustain.

"Beautiful guitar, great sound"
Takamine's G series are superb for their price range, but I suggest forking over the extra cash for the solid spruce top version, the eg540sc, instead. The unplugged sound is infinitely better. But for around three hundred dollors, it's hard to find a better acoustic-electric. I bought the solid top version for 300 bucks and feel I should have paid one to two hundred dollars more for it. I definitely recommend it.
