GREAT GUITAR...fell in love with it after playing my friends!
Best acoustic/electric I've ever owned! EXCELLENT sounding, fantastic finish, nothing cheaply made!!! I was really surprised of the quality even though it came out of China. Fits me really well...not too large like a jumbo Epiphone that I first tried out,, and much easier to reach up the neck with the single cut away. Professional sounding for sure!!!
Sound
Crisp sound on the high notes nice and deep on the low side, clarity is unreal!
Features
Great materials, spruce and mahogany, fit and finish is superb and natural finish looks awesome.
Ease of Use
Don't care for the heavy gauge strings that came with it...appears to be .012...i'm used to .010 but the D'Adario's do sound sweet...just my personal preference, as I have arthritis and diabetic neuropathy in my hands and fingers so thinner strings get the nod for me.
Quality
Should last forever...after all Takamine is the "hardest working guitar!!!"
Electronics sound really sweet through my 40 watt Peavy 10.
Value
OH YEAH!!!
Manufacturer Support
No...not yet for anything!
The Wow Factor
Looks alone aren't everything...but I sure look cool just holding it playing...and it does have a great sound!
