"A great guitar for little money."

Feature:
It has one of the best preamps I've seen and the tuner is very accurate. I wish the guitar had an XLR output as well.

Quality:
Definitely this is a beautiful guitar constructed very well. The finish is flawless and the maple wood looks cool. Structuraly, this is a very tight, solid guitar which will last for many years.

Value:
I have 7 other guitars which cost much more than this one and I can tell that the EG523 sounds as good or better than the others. Also when it comes to features, it has nothing to envy to the pricey ones.

Desirability:
Of course this guitar has a lot of sex appeal... it is beautiful and has nice curves. Better yet, never says no to me.

Sound:
Nice, full, well balanced sound and very good projection. When I plug it to my PA, it sounds even better.

Ease of Use:
Very confortable to play despite being very big. The action was high but after I lower it, it is a pleasure to play.

Overall:
I'll use this guitar for a very long, long time for song writing and recording because it has everything I need from a good guitar.

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
Takamine Guitars are crafted from the finest handpicked tonewoods, hand-crafted by expert luthiers, all providing players with an unmatched excellence and surprising affordability. Now, their extremely popular G-Series line has just gotten bigger. A lot bigger, with the introduction of two new "Jumbo" models. These new guitars are built with traditional cutaway, "Jumbo" bodies featuring solid Sitka Spruce tops, and flame maple back and sides. The EG523SC is a 6-string version, while the EG523SC-12 is a brilliant new 12-string model. The rosewood fretboards are inlayed with Mother of pearl and Abalone. Both Jumbos feature the world famous Takamine pickup and built-in tuner, along with the performance and value that players have come to expect from Takamine's G-Series.

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.
