Takamine EC132C Classical Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Reviews

31 People rated this product :

"The best I've heard to date."
Feature:
I was suprised to discover the on-board tuner. Really nice extra. Although I would have still gotten it without this feature.

Quality:
After I bought the guitar, I began looking for reviews on specifications and the like. The internet discribed the top, simply as 'spruce'. So I thought maybe it wasn't a solid top. It wasn't until I read this review, many months latter, that I find it is a solid top. I always wanted a solid top.

Desirability:
high romance

Sound:
I play this in a local music store, and was really excited by what I heard. I compared the sound to a beautiful piano. I played more expensive guitars while I was there... Nothing matched the sound of this guitar.

Support:
NA

Overall:
I would be foolish to ever part with the instrument.

"Classical/Fingerpicker/Owner of 2"
Feature:
The built in tuner makes alternate tunings easy and fast. The cutout makes those high frets reachable.

Quality:
My home EC132SC is on a stand next to my baby grand piano. Not only does it play great, it looks great.

Value:
Be patient and shop around. I'm okay with paying a little more so's I can play it in the local stores versus an internet purchase. $750-1000 is a fair price. If money's tight, go internet from an established web-store.

Desirability:
I said "I want it" twice. One for home, one for lunch-time practice in my office.

Sound:
Outstanding claasical guitar sound. Outstanding on ballads and when you want your notes to touch the listener's heart.

Support:
Every local store was sold out (they were on sale for about $750 w/o case). Had to ship my second one in from out-of-state. No service needed, so no complaints.

Overall:
This guitar has helped me go from beginner to advanced classical/fingerpicker in two years.
