Feature:
Fairly standard equipment and parts come with the kit, it really depends on who you buy it from. All of its initioal peices are very sturdy and well built. You can tell that each Takamine was put together with care and precision.

Quality:
Everthing comes in great condition. Very reliable and looks great when it arrives.

Value:
Its almost a steal at its usual price!

Desirability:
It may just be me, but I particularly fall for he white guitars, it came with a beautiful glossy finish and I practically drooled right there.

Sound:
It makes a very clean beginner sort of sound, perfect for those who want an easy, affordable, and reliable guitar. The guitar is not particularly suited for electric amplification, and usually works best when played acoustically. Extremely crisp live sound and does not drown out other instruments. In fact, I played an acoustic concert with one and the acoustic bass was easy to hear. Wonderful guitar.

Support:
Never contacted the company but I am thuroughly impressed.

Overall:
This a guitar you have to keep. Everything about it is just spectacular. From the inventive cutaway, to the electronic hookup's quality are top-notch. If I lost mine it would only be replacesd by another one.

Bought this little baby from [where i bought it from], and am enjoying it a lot. It is a very good guitar for the price. good sound, not a lot of action, and the color of the back and sides is beautiful. The preamp lacks a little bit, but i only use it ocasionally, so thats not a big deal. Had to get a post put in for a strap, which i think comes standard on many guitars. Generally I am very impressed buy this guitar, and would recommend it to anyone wanting a decent guitar for a great price.

The guitar has great quality and excellent tone for an entry level priced guitar. Compared to other guitars in its price range, Takamine definately has the edge.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
I'm really impressed with the features for the money -- it was the only new, name-brand acoustic-electric I found under $199, and it even came with the cable for plugging in!

Quality:
For the money, the fit and finish is amazing. It's a really great-looking guitar, and it seems well-built. The back, which is dark "nato" "mahogony-type" wood, is really beautiful.

Value:
I can't believe I got this good of a guitar, new, for this money.

Sound:
I haven't plugged it in yet, but as an "acoustic" it sounds really good. I'm not even close to an expert, since I just started playing about 6 months ago, on a regular-style (not cutaway) dreadnought steel-string acoustic. To me, this guitar doesn't sound quite as "full" as the regular dreadnought, but it's so much easier to play that right now I'll take the tiny bit of lost fullness.

Support:
Fortunately I haven't needed any support yet, but I was impressed that it comes with a limited lifetime warranty (on "non-wear" items).

For what you will spend on one of these, they are well worth it. A very good acoustic sound, and nice enough fret board. Definately upgrade the strings that come on it. I did find the action a little high on mine, but with a little
fine tuning, it is working excellent for me.

Feature:
awesome. cut-away and piezo are nice.

Quality:
very nice gloss finish. there is one spot that did not get finished very well. you can't notice this because it's in the curve of the cut-away. you really can't notice it unless you squint.

Sound:
amazing sound for the price. nice highs. a beginner can't ask for much more.

Feature:
at least it has some kind of control but its just gain and tone. its better than nothing but i get a lot of different sounds coming out of my guitar when i use it electric.

Quality:
everything is good but the tuning heads could be a little better

Value:
i payed about 200 for this guitar it should be about 75

Desirability:
i like the wood but the body looks kinda ugly

Sound:
the sound is crappy. on mine the 6th string buzzes on the first fret making it sound liek a dying weasle

Overall:
everything about this guitar is horrible
