Feature:
Possibly the best. The best of my collection anyway. I can see why Keith Urban plays a similar model.

Quality:
I'll give it a 9+ everytime on quality without knowing how its made compared to the art and science in a Gibson J-200. I must add, mine has no buzz anywhere on the neck and I play both soft & hard. Believe me, if you are a litle undecided when trying it out, there is no substitute for asking the store tech. to adjust a guitar from the floor or change strings.

Value:
I know very little about Takamine to be able to say what this instrument will play like in 15 years. If it maintains with age, I'll be getting rid of some other guitars and create some closet space! I have already enjoyed it enough to give it a 10.

Sound:
This guitar has the best overall sound blend I've found. Unplugged -It has good resonance up and down the frets yet maintains low frequency volume with clarity. Plugged in it sounds the best of all my other acoustic guitars when plugged. Martin, Gibson, Taylor Only the Martin is better straight acoustic (depending on the setting).

Support:
since I've had it for 7 months and no problems to ask for support I'll say 10.

Feature:
The EQ, works good. I tested the tuner with my Intellitouch tuner and they were right together. A manual wood be nice to have explaining the features.

Quality:
The flamed maple back and sides are just amazing to look at. The blonde wood is awesome. The shop that did the setup sells high end Martins, and the owner made several comments as to the beauty of this guitar, and the way it sounded plugged in.

Value:
I think for the price, you cannot find a better guitar. I believe it is priced appropriate.

Desirability:
Seems to be a solid well made guitar.

Sound:
The sound of this guitar is just amazing. I have bought a sold approx. 6 acoustic guitars in the past 3yrs, looking for that sound, and finally found it.

Ease of Use:
When it got here the action was pretty high. Took it to a local shop and had a pro setup done and put on Elixir 12's. This thing practically plays itself now. I have a hard time putting it down. The sound it has now is even more,,,WOW

Support:
Hope I don't have to rate this one.

Overall:
I plan on wearing this one out, and would buy another.

Feature:
I found that it was frusterating that It did not come with a direction sheet to work the preamp but it is deffinetly worth it. The inlays on the fret board are beautiful, mother of pearl with a triangle of abelone inside it. It comes with an allen wrench and I just figured out what for. It is for the truss rod.

Quality:
Mine has no blemishes and it is rock solid. It is a durable guitar resists bumps, but dont go all Pete Townshend on it and expect it to work. (as in smashing it on the floor)

Value:
excelent value I would expect this guitar to be upward of 900 if I just saw it.

Desirability:
This is the Marylan Monroe of all acoustics.

Sound:
the tone quality is wonderful it plays rich full deep tones with/without amp

Support:
dunno about support because I havnt had any problems.

Overall:
I will ever get bored of this guitar If it broke I would get another one.

Feature:
Tuner is great.

Quality:
Holds tuning well. I don't have to tune much once I set it.

Value:
You will have to spend three times as much to get the same value.

Desirability:
The wood is stunning for this price guitar.

Sound:
Has Full sound. Sounds great plugged in.

Support:
Haven't needed any yet.

Quality:
this guitar has the looks of a taylor and could stand up to one

Sound:
amazing. One of the takamines made . I love this guitar . it sounds so good you would think it cost over $1000 dollars

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use the neck is perfect for anyone

Overall:
one of the best guitars built for the price range . everyone needs one

Feature:
The built-in tuner is for sure a plus. It isn't the best tuner in the world but it gets the job done.

Quality:
Its made pretty well, but it seems like there are some things that could be done better. The neck looks like it could be better, it's not going to fall off or anything, but with close examination it appears to have some cracks at the seams.

Value:
It's price is probably a little bit high, but I think it's still worth it.

Desirability:
The blonde Takamine Jumbo Cut-Away is a beautiful guitar! The flame Maple back and sides look sweet.

Sound:
This guitar sounds great, the jumbo body really gives it a full, rich sound.

Overall:
as an avid musicion and I will probably have this one for a very long time. I don't see replacing it for a wile. I think this is a great guitar for anyone, I feel good about bringing it up on stage.

Feature:
Pretty standard for an electric acoustic guitar.Like that there's no pegs for me to deal with when restringing.

Quality:
The design is beautiful for the price. Even if it wasnt' for the price, the design is very eye appealing. For 600 dollars excluding tax, i would have thought that the finish and the follow though would be better. I would have rated this guitar higher in quality if Takamine have done a better sanding job with the wood.

Value:
THe price is very good for a good qualitied guitar. There are some very annoying finishes which were done poorly.

Sound:
The sound is very full and brilliant. I find that on some frets, there are buzzing-which i am disapointed to find on such a beautiful guitar.

Support:
N/A-bought it at guitarcenter-they were helpful. But im sure if i bought it here, zzounds would charge you a non refundable 20 dollars for shiipping charge.

Feature:
Comprehensive responsive little control panel.

Quality:
Excellent construction and finish. Solid machine heads keep it in tune.

Value:
A lot of guitar for the money. Fairly confident the sound will improve with age.

Desirability:
Looks great but thought the sound would be better for a reputable name like Takamine

Sound:
Tinny but getting better (after 3 months). As a result, sounds a bit harsh when amplified. Will probably need a while to mellow.

Support:
N/a

Overall:
Will keep it for a long time but could be tempted to trade it in if I find a nicer alternative in the coming years

Feature:
I actually don't plug this guitar up very often, so no comments to that regard. I do really enjoy having the integrated tuner right there at my fingertips - thats one feature that most a/e guitars at this price do not have.

Quality:
This is a well-made guitar as far as I can tell. We'll see how it lasts over time.

Value:
No doubt a great value. I bought this guitar and hardshell jumbo case for $550 at a store here in Lexington. I have no regrets.

Desirability:
This guitar is dead-sexy. Just look at it.

Sound:
The jumbo body really projects the sound really well. What a great sound.

Support:
I haven't had to contact the company, but I've heard they are easy to work with.

Overall:
I'm very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys playing from time to time. If you are looking for something to play at gigs or something of that nature, then you would probably want to spend the extra buck and get something a little nicer. But, as far as playing for friends and family goes, this guitar is the best.
