Feature:
Love the built in tuner, the on-board EQ control is good.

Quality:
Very well made, I have yet to find any flaws in finishing, fret work, etc. Just a top notch and beautiful guitar.

Value:
The worth goes above and beyond the the measly $500-or-so price tag. I will have this guitar for life, and I am confident it will serve me that long.

Desirability:
Really love this guitar!

Sound:
Really amazing plugged in, just as great acoustically. It has a very rich and full sound, and a great bass response.

Ease of Use:
I really love the neck and just the entire overall feel of the guitar. It plays so easily, it's incredible.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with Takamine.

Overall:
This is just an excellent guitar. Extremely well crafted, with attention to detail that I have not seen in any other instruments I have owned. It's so comfortable to play and it sounds beautiful. Thank you Takamine.

Feature:
No accessories. Bought case seperately.

Value:
Easily worth twice the price.

Desirability:
Looks humble but plays like a champ.

Sound:
Crisp transient highs, full resonant lows, very easy to play. It's a winner and worth twice the price.

Support:
No problems at all but I called with a few questions and they were prompt and courteous.

Overall:
I'll never replace it. This is my classical electric for life.

I also have a Epi Chet Atkins Nylon. I don't even take the Epi out of the closet anymore. I like the acoustic sound as well as the sound thru an amp. I use hard tension nylon strings.

As the description says, I compared the instrument with many in the same and higher price categories and this one came out the tops for overall features, sound and quality, even considering that the top is only laminated, it sounded better than many solid tops. I especially like its low action and the way it sounds plugged in through an acoustic amplifier combo.

I should have found a solid top guitar with LRbaggs electronics. After playing at stage volume, the TK4N preamp would cut out and I would hafe to remove and reinsert the plug to make it work, which caused a loud pop in the PA. Save your money and get a solid top guitar.

the takamine online support is horrible, you just fill out a registration card but there was no way to ask a question or get support other than going back to the dealer. I will never buy Takamine again. :(
