Takamine G340SC Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic Guitar Reviews
9 out of 10
"Unexpected and more than I expected!"
Feature:
I wish the fret board inlays were more eye-catching. I also wish this guitar had a pickup, because it sounds so amazing already.
Quality:
It is obvious tht this clean, classy guitar is about quality, so it's OK that it's not fancy. Solid, no defects, everything functions perfectly.
Value:
Perhaps the best I've seen for the price. A better bargain than my Martin DM. I went looking for a bit cheaper, "beater" guitar and found this gem!
Desirability:
Not a dazzling guitar, so people who play to look good probably won't be as into this guitar. But it has a dignified, classy appeal, and once you play it, it's addictive.
Sound:
It has a full, rich tone. Bass and timbre are great, especially considering the price.
Ease of Use:
Some fret buzz, but the action is plenty smooth. Seems to hold tune well, as the one I have played at the store (and will be buying this weekend) has been in tune each of the five times I have played it (and it's a floor model)!
Support:
Haven't purchased yet, but their web site is informative and easy to navigate. My Tak dealer is very knowledgeable, too.
Overall:
Love it and don't see that changing!
