Sound: Excellent Sound. I played many guitars and read a lot of reviews before buying this one and it paid off. Sounds like a guitar that would cost 2 -3 times more than this one. Feature: Nothing real fancy about this guitar. Gold keys are nice and the Solid Spruce top is nice. The Electronics with the built in tuner is more than adequate. Ease of Use: The action on the guitar that I purchased is OK. May bring it to a guitar tech to see if it can be lowered a bit. Quality: Appears to be made extremely well and very durable. Value: Incredible instrument for the price. Manufacturer Support: Really haven't needed them for anything. I sent in the registration and received a nice letter back from them. The Wow Factor: The thing that is appealing about this instrument is the sound and the price. Overall: I plan to keep this instrument for a very long time. Probably the best I've owned which includes my Martin.

Sound: i love the sound of this guitar. it's so warm feeling, and it projects very well Feature: i got a hard case for it, but that wasn't included. no worries there, it needed one. Ease of Use: the maneuverability of the fretboard is keen. the rosewood fretboard feels great on the fingers. Value: I picked this up for 340 and tax. I knew it was a steal, so I immediately bought it when i first played it. The Wow Factor: The shiny finish on the body gave it a +5 sex appeal. The gold tuners gave it a +2. The color is pretty plain and traditional, but the quality of the sound is what really makes it appealing.

Sound: The sound is great!!! Clear and wholesome up and down the fret board. Compares favorably with Martin and others. The onboard electronics is a real plus, not only to plug in and play that beautiful sound, but it also has a tuner built in that is super easy to use and its accuracy is spot on. For the price, you can't go wrong with this guitar. Feature: This guitar is sold without any accesories except for the built in tuner and pick-up. A few dollars more to include a case would be a great deal. I bought a Gator "DREAD" to carry my guitar with. The case is a good addition to have. Ease of Use: The guitar "SPEAKS" for itself! Great tone and very good action right out of the box. I am well pleased with my Takemine EG340SC. The spruce top is a real plus. This is a real eye pleaser as well as an ear pleaser!!! Quality: Beautiful instrument! The finish is perfect and the wood grain on the back and sides is truly beyond what I expected. The solid spruce top is an eye-catching feature that makes you feel proud just to own this guitar. Value: Great guitar! This is a real pleasure to play and the sound is wonderful! Need I say more?!? Manufacturer Support: Although I haven't had a need for after purchase support, the support and advice I receive prior to purchase was very helpful. ZZounds has been my point of purchase for several items and I've not been sorry. The Wow Factor: Its a winner!!! The overall sound and looks make this a desirable guitar and the price is affordable. Sex appeal is off the charts. Overall: I expect this to be my main guitar for years to come. I see no reason to seek a replacement since it fills my every need as a player.

Sound: I just bought this from Zzounds, they beat the best price I could find on the internet, which is really cool. The sound is excellent! Better than a friend of mine's Martin. It really inspires you to play. I don't even want to pick up my Ovation now. Looks great and plays like a dream, almost as easy as an electric. I haven't recorded with it yet, but I think it's gonna sound great. There are two notes that buzz around the 12th fret. I just need to set it up and it'll be fine. Feature: built in tuner is nice and easy to use Ease of Use: sound great and very dynamic depending on how you play it, muting strumming at different places. harmonics sound great too. Very easy to play, even when soloing. Quality: seems to be built very well. finish is outstanding. I love the way the fretboard looks too. Value: can't beat it for the money. I don't think you can beat it for twice the money. The best thing about this guitar is how it sounds and plays. I don't really care about anything else. Manufacturer Support: having needed support The Wow Factor: looks great, but I'm more into how it sounds and plays and that is outstanding! Overall: I'm totally satisfied right now. I don't foresee that changing.

Sound: as far as i am concerned the only thing that comes close to this instrument is a martin. this thing projects like no other guitar i have ever owned. Fire side with all my party buds or on a gig in a cave(bar) or concert hall, or just in my practice studio. Crystal clear sound and the harmonics are dead on. Feature: it only came with a hard case that i beat out of my local retailer. Ease of Use: this thing plays like a strat! no doubt, this one is a keeper. the only thing about this guitar is that it puts a premium on technique. but that is a good thing, because the more you play it the better your technique gets. Quality: very well made. ballanced so well that it feels like its floating in your hands. i am not real gentle with my equipment, i don't abuse it but it gets played. after all thats what i bought it for! i expect it to last the rest of my life and beyond. Value: worth twice what i paid for it. i bought it retail with a retail markup Manufacturer Support: i have not had one problem with it The Wow Factor: 10!

Sound: Sounds great. Easily compares to Taylors and Martin. Plugged in or unplugged, sounds great either way. Feature: I have to say that I love the built in tuner on this beauty. It tunes the guitar perfectly. I've played acoustics with built in tuners that don't get you tuned perfectly but this is the best I've seen. Ease of Use: Very easy guitar to play. The cutaway helps a lot. My last acoustic did not have a cutaway and it really makes a difference if you are a soloist. Quality: The guitar is truly a beautiful looking guitar. The gold tuners definitely are a plus and make it look very sexy. Value: For around $450, this guitar is great. I've played a $1200 Taylor and though my Takamine was much better. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had any issues with it yet and don't really think i will. The Wow Factor: This is a very sexy guitar. Overall: If you're even thinking about getting this guitar, go for it. I don't think you'll find anything better for the money you are paying.

Sound: i absolutely love the sound this guitar puts out. very warm and rich tone and you can play it soft or hard and it'll still sound fantastic Feature: Basic features, onboard tuner, 3 band EQ. The only thing i would like on this is an extra strap button on the neck heel but i could deal without one. Could easily get one installed at a shop. Ease of Use: Good set up straight from the box. Playing barred chords on this guitar was an absolute breeze. Quality: Looks like this guitar could last a really long time if taken well care of. Value: If i lost this, i'll buy one again. If it got damaged and unrepairable i'll definitely buy one again. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to call yet!
