I'm keeping this forever, and I'm not currently looking for another guitar. But this feels better and better to play every time I pick it up.
Sound
A beautiful, rich tone to it. Absolutely amazing for the price. I've played guitars twice the price, but I prefer this.
Features
Nice finishing, tuners are easy enough to move but sturdy enough to stay put for a long time.
Ease of Use
This is great for beginners and experienced players. It was basically my first real guitar, and I'm still so pleased with it. My brother and father are guitarists also, they love to play it too.
Quality
Gorgeous finishing, one of the nicest guitars you can get for it's price. I've had it for over a year and a half and I've had no problems at all.
Value
I bought this after a LOT of research. In the end, it was a great decision, and when I buy my next guitar, I'd be happy to buy from the same company.
Manufacturer Support
I have not needed support for this product.
The Wow Factor
It's amazing to look at and play.

I think I've said it all already. I bought this guitar without playing or hearing it, which I ussually wouldn't do but having experience with Takamine before I took the chance. If you are unsure, DON'T BE it's a great instruement. I feel certain that you will be very happy with this purchase no matter what your skill level.
Sound
I play with alot of fellow musicians with high doolar equipment and this guitar is always passed around. I put on a set of Gibson Masterbuilt 11-50's and the sound can match the quality of any other guitar under the $1,500 mark. I personally have 8 other guitars and I play this one every night while the others collect dust.
Features
The tuners are solid. I can tune it, play for two weeks nightly and check it and it's still perfectly in tune. It has a solid spruce top, Mohogany back and sides. No complaints at all!
Ease of Use
The playability of this guitar is wonderful. Good spacing, frets are easy on the fingers. The action is nice and low and even all the way down the fretboard right out of the box.
Quality
With care I think this guitar can last a lifetime. The quality for the buck is unbelievable.
Value
Worth triple what they sell this for. Honestly!
Manufacturer Support
I haven't had any need what so ever to contact the company after 6 months of hard use. But the Takamine name is very well respected in the guitar circle.
The Wow Factor
The finish is flawless, enlays perfect and the gold tunners really set this guitar off. Simply beautiful! Sometimes to much is just too much this guitar is perfect the way it comes.
