Product Description

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.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds "I "discovered" zZounds about 2 years ago & was curious about their "Play as you Pay" installment plan. I am a musician so, I am sometimes strapped for cash. Without this plan I would have never been able to get the gear I need!" - customer on May 8th, 2012

"Upgrade to Takamine"

Sound: This guitar has the best overall sound blend I've found. Unplugged -It has good resonance up and down the frets yet maintains low frequency volume with clarity. Plugged in it sounds the best of all my other acoustic guitars when plugged. Martin, Gibson, Taylor Only the Martin is better straight acoustic (depending on the setting). Feature: Possibly the best. The best of my collection anyway. I can see why Keith Urban plays a similar model. Quality: I'll give it a 9+ everytime on quality without knowing how its made compared to the art and science in a Gibson J-200. I must add, mine has no buzz anywhere on the neck and I play both soft & hard. Believe me, if you are a litle undecided when trying it out, there is no substitute for asking the store tech. to adjust a guitar from the floor or change strings. Value: I know very little about Takamine to be able to say what this instrument will play like in 15 years. If it maintains with age, I'll be getting rid of some other guitars and create some closet space! I have already enjoyed it enough to give it a 10. Manufacturer Support: since I've had it for 7 months and no problems to ask for support I'll say 10.

Style of Music: good amatuer all styles,

Takamine EG523C Jumbo Customer Review

Sound: The sound is very full and brilliant. I find that on some frets, there are buzzing-which i am disapointed to find on such a beautiful guitar. Feature: Pretty standard for an electric acoustic guitar.Like that there's no pegs for me to deal with when restringing. Quality: The design is beautiful for the price. Even if it wasnt' for the price, the design is very eye appealing. For 600 dollars excluding tax, i would have thought that the finish and the follow though would be better. I would have rated this guitar higher in quality if Takamine have done a better sanding job with the wood. Value: THe price is very good for a good qualitied guitar. There are some very annoying finishes which were done poorly. Manufacturer Support: N/A-bought it at guitarcenter-they were helpful. But im sure if i bought it here, zzounds would charge you a non refundable 20 dollars for shiipping charge.
