"Great Quality - Unbelievable Sound"

Feature:
The features are all there. The Onboard EQ is very useful and the gold tuners hold it in tune and make a nice appealing touch.

Quality:
VERY WELL MADE GUITAR. The spruce top and Ovangkol back and sides are top of the line woods that really let your guitar sing. Unlike alot of Taylor guitars, this guitar feels very strong and i believe it will last me a long time.

Value:
Sticker price is 900 dollars, the retail price is 630. After i traded my old acoustic in.. it only cost me 250 dollars. THATS A GREAT VALUE!

Desirability:
Beautiful guitar. Gold tuners, Abalone Rosette.. very very appealing to the eye.

Sound:
The sound of this guitar is flat out amazing. I mean it doesnt necessarily compare to a Martin D-40 or a Taylor 900 series guitar, but it doesnt have too. Those guitars are 3k a piece and this one barely breaks 600 and comes close to both of those sounds. Just slap some elixers on this thing and youll be amazed of the sounds that come out of this guitar.

Ease of Use:
I bought this guitar based on the sound.. however when i bought it the action was so unbelievably high that i could slip my index finger inbetween the strings and the fretboard. AFTER i adjusted this.. the guitar plays like a dream. Moving up and down the neck has never been easier.

Support:
havent dealt with teh company

Overall:
I see myself having this guitar for a long time. I plan on recording with it, as well as gigging with it. This guitar might be the keystone in my arsenal.

Takamine EG334SC Cutaway Customer Review

Feature:
beautiful but not perfect finish and wood. more expensive guitars look perfect. i detect laminatation in sides of body but i don't think that will hurt anything - i dont see my self having the neck reset anytime soon.

Sound:
easily comparible to $1500 gibson and guild. it is much better than the gibson that i had a while back. i have been playing a yamaha fg180 because it never changed. it is a little stiffer than what i am used to but... the pickup and pre are simple as hell and excellent. very elegant and simple battery module. i don't need lots of eq on the instrument cause amps and soundsystems seem to have lots of that these days. jack looks like it will last.
