UTILIZATION

Takamine handle very comfortable throughout the pitch.
Access to acute is easy.
Jumbo frets very snug and perfectly polished

The weight is slightly heavier than a Folk due to the presence of CTP-2 preamp

It sounds wonderful acoustics, but once connected you discover the magic of the preamp makes the success Takamine. The sound is very well balanced and playing with the settings of the equalizer and the control in the preamp tube, we find a more beautiful sound.

I plug whenever I can to enjoy the game amplified.

The only regret I have is that it has no pickguard (beware shots mediator, it does not forgive).

SOUNDS

If only one likes the sound of Goldman on the last tour, we quickly understand what sound Takamine. That's what I wanted to find her. I'm not disappointed.
Magic arpeggio, it is also very well balanced struming.

Connected to monitors with a nice reverb and slight chorus. It sounds awfully good.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month and I do not get tired. About 2 hours a day of fun.

After trying a Taylor 214ce and some Martins in the same price range, I came on this Takamine with certainty that it is the latter that I needed.

A violin quality and flawless finish. € 1,200 on list price, bought € 850 in new condition.
I am completely satisfied with my purchase. I do it again this choice with his eyes closed.

She joined my family of instruments where it has a special place.

Maybe one day I dare acquire its big sister the TSF48C with a slightly larger budget, but it must be worth its price also.
