"sweet sound got to have it!!!!"

Feature:
Beautifull flamed maple back and sides,mother of pearl and abalone in frets makes this guitar really stand out. It is light colored all over which I like makes it a little out of the ordinary.

Quality:
I believe this guitar will be my best friend for life.

Value:
This guitar sounds better than some of the more expensive ones I tried diffently worth the price and maybe three times that.

Desirability:
This guitar has sound so rich and sweet. I would buy it for just that reason but the all over light wood tone with the flamed maple is outstanding . I will be playing it in my dreams.

Sound:
awesome sound I haven't been playing guitar long this guitar makes me sound great. I've always loved to hear others play a twelve string and now I want one of my own. Went shopping to see what was out there. I played several ovation, guild, fender, alverez and this guitar is the one!!

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.
