Cedar top, mahogany sides and back, mahogany neck. Has antique finish. The set from the factory is excellent. Very low but no buzzing. Like an electric guitar. The neck is very fast and responsive. Very easy to play. On board tuner is very accurate and easy to use. Press the button twice and it mutes the speaker if you're plugged in. Came with Dáddario EXP Phosphor Bronze strings. The sound is bright but not overly so. Has a good deep bass response as well. I'm used to spruce top gloss finish guitars. The satin finish on the cedar is not very dazzling, I play with my church's praise team and it sounds great plugged in on the PA. It also sounds very full and loud unplugged. Overall I'm very pleased. Especially when you consider the price.

I set out to find the best quality acoustic guitar I could get for under $1000. After reading numerous reviews, I decided on the Takamine EF340SCGN Pro Acoustic-Electric. I searched online and found it for much less than I expected at zZounds.com. It arrived quickly, and safely. I am extremely pleased with every aspect of this guitar. I've played several other guitars, but this is the first one I've purchased. It doesn't sound as rich as a Taylor, but the quality is still extremely good. It has a very warm tone, and the satin finish and smell of the wood make fora very enjoyable playing experience.

Musical Background:

Playing acoustic and electric for 15 years
