Feature:
The features are all there. The Onboard EQ is very useful and the gold tuners hold it in tune and make a nice appealing touch.

Quality:
VERY WELL MADE GUITAR. The spruce top and Ovangkol back and sides are top of the line woods that really let your guitar sing. Unlike alot of Taylor guitars, this guitar feels very strong and i believe it will last me a long time.

Value:
Sticker price is 900 dollars, the retail price is 630. After i traded my old acoustic in.. it only cost me 250 dollars. THATS A GREAT VALUE!

Desirability:
Beautiful guitar. Gold tuners, Abalone Rosette.. very very appealing to the eye.

Sound:
The sound of this guitar is flat out amazing. I mean it doesnt necessarily compare to a Martin D-40 or a Taylor 900 series guitar, but it doesnt have too. Those guitars are 3k a piece and this one barely breaks 600 and comes close to both of those sounds. Just slap some elixers on this thing and youll be amazed of the sounds that come out of this guitar.

Ease of Use:
I bought this guitar based on the sound.. however when i bought it the action was so unbelievably high that i could slip my index finger inbetween the strings and the fretboard. AFTER i adjusted this.. the guitar plays like a dream. Moving up and down the neck has never been easier.

Support:
havent dealt with teh company

Overall:
I see myself having this guitar for a long time. I plan on recording with it, as well as gigging with it. This guitar might be the keystone in my arsenal.

Feature:
beautiful but not perfect finish and wood. more expensive guitars look perfect. i detect laminatation in sides of body but i don't think that will hurt anything - i dont see my self having the neck reset anytime soon.

Sound:
easily comparible to $1500 gibson and guild. it is much better than the gibson that i had a while back. i have been playing a yamaha fg180 because it never changed. it is a little stiffer than what i am used to but... the pickup and pre are simple as hell and excellent. very elegant and simple battery module. i don't need lots of eq on the instrument cause amps and soundsystems seem to have lots of that these days. jack looks like it will last.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
Great features. Not a 10 on Electronics but very good.

Quality:
Again, this is a massed produced guitar. It's very good. I LOVE it..!

Value:
You can get better guitars in every way but you have to spend WELL above a $1000.

Desirability:
I have 2. 1 Natural and 1 Black....

Sound:
Let's be real, this guitar sounds very good but if you rate it a 10 then you've never heard a McPherson, a high end Martin, Taylor, USA Breedlove, Avalon or etc. If you have this kind of money to spend then BUY IT. You won't be disipointed. The only thing you'll want to thoroughly check is the intonation. Especially with a capo. It took me 3 times to get it right. I did not buy from ZZounds...

Support:
I bought a 2nd one (Black) for a ridiculously low price and had to take it in because the electronics didn't work. I knew this when I bought it but it still had a full warranty. It was repaired with absolutely no hassles. It was the end piece...

Overall:
I'd love to have a McPherson but shure can't afford the $4500 to get one...

Feature:
EQ provides good control for customization of sound. Beautiful finish and overall look.

Quality:
Fit and finish are excellent. Very solid.

Value:
I looked at just about everything in this price range and found this to be the best value overall. Has the tone and playability of more expensive Martin's and Taylor's.

Desirability:
Great look and sound. Best purchase I've made in a long time. Totally satisfied in every aspect.

Sound:
The sound is rich and warm plugged or unplugged. I have an Ibanez Troubadour TA-25 Acoustic amp and it sounds awesome when played through it.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
Expect to be playing this guitar for a long time and getting great enjoyment and satisfaction from it.

Quality:
this instument is very well mad. the finish is a maizng its so elegant...takamine knew what it was doign when building this model...the produck is very reliable this guitar can tak a beating before anyhting breaking or going out of tune. this is a great gig guitar to go on the road and then some....i think this will last until i am very very old of age and im aonly 17.

Feature:
The preamp is pertty cool, and the built in tuner is the most useful thing ever. the only problem i have is the tuning nobs are starting to crode.

Quality:
this thing is a tank, other than the plastic stuff going all around the edge of the guitar, the plastic dents pertty easily.

Value:
for the price its great, i dont think you really need to spend $3000 on a acustic guitar, just for a small sound difference.

Desirability:
i like the curves of this guitar, the black walnut color on the back just screams badass. and the neck is slick like my stratocaster, which i like, and the gold makes it look expensive.

Sound:
this guitar has amazing sound, much better than my cruddy washburn lyon, i've had this guitar for about 3 months, and the pickups sound like gold. of course, i play on a 20 year old ibenez pratice acustic amp, so it sounds crappy through that, but hooked to a large sound system it will suprise you.

Ease of Use:
pertty much just plug it in and go, but you might want to get a good amp to play through, if its a bad 50 cent amp then its gonna sound like crap.

Overall:
for a great guitar that your grandkids can play concerts with and still sound good with, this one beats all competition for the price.
