"Best Guitar I have owned"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I play almost daily at health care facilities and I play a very eclectic song list, so I require a strong, versatile guitar. This is THE BEST I have ever owned. Seriously.
Sound
Great resonance; solid guitar. When I pulled it out of the box, it felt so much heavier and more solid then the past guitars I have owned...which is a good thing.
Features
On board tuner is great. I haven't plugged it in yet (owned it over a year), but I just ordered a Tak acoustic to take on road
Ease of Use
Because of the weight and construction, this guitar is amazing. I have owned so many guitars in the past...this one is the best built guitar I have ever owned.
Quality
As noted throughout comments above, I am extremely impressed with how SOLID it feels.
Value
Best value by far
Manufacturer Support
Never used
The Wow Factor
I don't know that the looks will wow anyone, but the sound and playability will certainly wow the guitarist and those listening

This will be my acoustic for a long time! It is built solid, beautiful, and with great tone. I couldn't ask for more.
Sound
The tone on this baby is great! I am a beginner but she sounds great!
Features
No real accessories...none needed.
Ease of Use
I have no trouble getting great sound out of this guitar. It holds its tune well and sounds great plugged or unplugged.
Quality
The construction looks top-notch! The finish is beautiful. I have the wine red and it is as much a display item as a great guitar!
Value
I think this guitar was a steal!! I could not be happier with it.
Manufacturer Support
I have had many email questions back and forth with ZZounds while in the process of picking a guitar, they answer fast and are very helpful!!
The Wow Factor
She is beautiful and sexy. The wine red finish is hot and classy!

I would absolutely get another if I was silly enough to sell this one, or unlucky enough to have this stolen or run over by a car.
I dislike nothing about this guitar. For the price I paid, I could not be happier with the product that I received.
Sound
I love the sound of this guitar. I give it a 9 only because I am not usually an acoustic player and have limited experience with them. I do know what I like though and I like this, but I'll leave room for a 10. I have used this record directly into my digital recorder and it sounds amazing. I live this thing.
Features
I has a built-tuner; that's good. Low/mid/high tone controls and a gain control. Perfect for me. Sure, there are acoustic-electric guitars that come with a lot more sliders, knobs, and buttons, but I figure that if you need that much crap on an acoustic that it is just a selling ploy. We all like gadgets.
Ease of Use
Sounds great plugged and unplugged. Easy to zero in on a great sound with the tone sliders. Good action on the neck right out of the box.
Quality
It seems very well made. Action is great and the tuners hold tune great. Tuner is spot on. Beautiful finish (I have the sunburst). The pickup sounds great.
Value
I can not imagine a better value for my money. No regrets at all.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to try and contact Takamine.
The Wow Factor
Be cool like me. Get it.
