Feature:
the built in mic is amazing... plug it into an accoustic amp and you sound like a god! hehe the built in tuner is verrrrrry precise aswell. couldnt ask for more

Quality:
one minor buzz on D string, 3rd fret... but easily avoided by putting a little more pressure. other than that, quality is amazingly high. nothing but the best from takamine... all their guitars are HAND built.

Value:
easily stands up to a Martin D28.... i actually like the sound more! DEFFINATLEY worth the price.... could charge $500 more and still sell the guitar. trust me, this guitar is it.

Desirability:
very nice classic dred style.... white border with 3 very tiny black stripes following the border. very sharp looking guitar.

Sound:
the sound is absolutely perfect.... the built in tuner gets the strings in perfect harmony with one another, better than any other tuner i have ever used! And not to mention the action on this guitar is insane! it feels like an electric! you can hammer and pull off to your hearts content without even trying. you cant go wrong with this guitar.... best acoustic i have ever heard/owned. D'darrio strings sound best on this guitar.... oh and dont forget about the amazing look/shine this guitar has with the glossy black/white enamel border/pearl type enlays.

Support:
easy to get in touch with... very polite.

Overall:
love it. cant say anything more aobut it. this is the guitar to have if you cant afford to drop $4K on a martin..... absolutely amazing guitar.

Feature:
I love the built-in tuner this guitar has. Who wants to have to plug in or try to hold a tuner in one hand and strum and adjust with the other?????????????????? The on board electronics package this guitar has sounds great through an acoustic amp, and the guitar sounds great without amplification as well.

Quality:
The fit,finish,and quality control at Takamine is second to none. You can spend more money, but you simply can't buy a better guitar.

Value:
Dollar for dollar, this is the best buy on the market.

Desirability:
The rich black color of this guitar along with the contrasting trim is eye candy of the sweetest kind. A really beautiful instrument!

Sound:
This guitar has a resonance that you just have to hear to believe! I have heard guitars which cost thousands more, and if I had the money to spend for a more expensive guitar I would still buy the Takamine. It works equally well with finger picking or playing cords.

Support:
No issues had to be reported.

Overall:
Why would I want to search for another guitar, when I already have the best???????????????????????????

Feature:
The only feature on this would be the electric side of it and associated controls. They are intuitive enough though the "exciter" circuit may not be. just fiddle with it a tad and you'll see it's like pushing up the preamp on your amplifier. It ups the sensitivity of the pickup and I found it very useful and a nice control to have. I think this guitar should have a strap button on the neck heel so I put one there. Other folks like to tie their strap off at the neck. Not me.

Quality:
Absolutely no issues. Nothing loose or installed poorly.

Value:
I feel like I'd have preferred to spend a bit less but who wouldn't? I'm not real smart on what's required to build a quality acoustic but if its anywhere near $750, plus the typical $200 for an integrated on-board transducer pickup system then I guess I got my money's worth.

Desirability:
If there was another guitar in the shop that was, maybe, a tad better sounding or playing then I'd have a tough choice to make because I really liked that this guitar was black. There is, to me, a huge coolness to black acoustics. Or maybe it is that natural acoustics are so bland. Either way, this guitar draws my eye which, in turn, draws my hand and the sound quality rewards me for picking it up.

Sound:
Sound is why I bought this guitar. I sat in the my local music store and picked and strummed absolultely everything on the wall. There were some very nice sounding Martins but, surprisingly, the Fenders were doing nothing for me. This guitar has the fullest sound. Rich, airy bottom end and very crisp, clear highs. I'm speaking strictly acoustic here, never got around to pluggin it in as this was secondary for me. Price was not an issue except that I was not about to drop 3 grand on an acoustic. I paid just under a thou for it but bottom line: it sounded much fuller than anything else in the store.

Support:
No dealings needed.

Overall:
I've been asked this before. My favorite guitar company, whose products I collect, also makes acoustic-electrics but I know nothing about them and never will. When you really have what you want/need, you just don't look anymore. I don't gig with it so, short of a flood or tornado taking it out, I'll be buried with this guitar in my coffin.

This Guitar sounds full-bodied and sounds like your playing in an arena, clean and crisp, with great low tones in a simple bedroom. I have played this guitar for years and wouldn't part with mine for anything.

Feature:
The built-in tuner is accurate and a great addition to this guitar especially in this price range.

Quality:
The one thing about this guitar that sets it apart from others, besides the warm sound, is the awesome "stage presence" and the shiny black finish. You will need a soft cloth to keep it clean but the shine makes it worth it all.

Value:
This guitar is a steal in this price range. No other guitar comes close to the sound of this Takamine unless you plan to spend another grand.

Desirability:
This Takamine is all about "stage presence" and looks to die for! It is very light and hangs just right for any type of playing.

Sound:
The sound and "stage presence" of this black beauty are beyond compare in this price range. I play it in a B/G band and with the smooth neck that is lightning fast and the warm, smooth sound it is a great guitar.

Ease of Use:
Sound is great no matter what style I play. Fast strumming, flatpicking, or even fingerpicking the sound stays true and resonate. A great guitar for the beginner or active musician.

Support:
No problems at all and don't anticipate any repairs.

Overall:
I wanted a Gibson ( hope to buy one someday to make my collection complete), but this Takamine fit the bill for me with it's stunning looks, thin neck, a modest price. Thought I would give it a try and I am glad I did, it is my "go to" guitar for stage use. When it is plugged into an amp the sound is distinct and cuts through the mix of any type of band.
