  Frenchcoolhand's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Super! BUT A SET!"

  Characteristics

  You just know that the nut and bridge are plastic :-(
  
  The rest is beyond reproach.

  Utilization

  - Mache super nice (Rock - Blues) (Rhythm and Solo)
  
  - Ergonomics perfect, it's a Jumbo, A good? Not even seen, great!
  
  - The weight and light for a jumbo.
  
  - The acute accces to perfect until the 15th box. After it is good only until the end of the strings and so mi.
  
  
  
  In acoustics, the sound is perfect. Less powerful than it should for a jumbo. This is the result, in my opinion, a subtle balance of the serious-mid-high, which means that the sound is held in perfect balance :-)
  
  
  
  CEOS is shuttered, but it's lovely, is not new in takamine!
  
  
  
  But most important: This guitar is sold with super high strings to the handle. We must therefore remove the string and remove all the blocks under the horse. After that, the strings are a little high (for me) but it's very playable. It is playing the adjustment of the handle must be able to further reduce height, but I have not yet done. The rest is 10/10, nothing to say it's all good. Everything exudes quality and this guitar is really well finished (completely in contradiction with the problem of chord height ???).
  
  Little reflection on the problem of the strings too high (the general problem of all EG523SC): Takamine seems to lack confidence (wrongly!) And prefers to place the strings super high and avoid the risk of rope frieze ... However, the handle is good and what does not exist. Takamine should quickly address this ridiculous problem!

  Sounds

  Rock, Blues, Hard Rock. (AC-DC, Stones, Scorpions, ledzep, Guns ....+ composed characters ...)
  
  The sound is super good acoustics (although low round and bright treble, mids are well balanced). A reproach to her? Yes, a little: lack a little personality, but if the guitarist gives himself a bit of trouble ... It does! I play Rock, Blues, Hard Rock and this guitar suits me perfectly, I love it! Of "AC / DC unplugged" to Angie through the bluesy solo crazy, I'm having with it!
  
  
  
  Each note comes off well, I love the clean sound, you can then play on the nuances or force a bit to "dirty" sound a little ...

  Overall Opinion

  - 1 week of use
  
  - I tried all types of guitars of all price
  
  - I love the ROCK!
  
  - I hate to get a guitar that we should resolve before they can play.
  
  - The value is unbeatable, € 545, which could be better?
  
  
  
  I recommend. I'll be back to comment in a year ...

  Big-bill's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  The EG523SC is an electro acoustic jumbo manufacturing in Korea.
  
  the finish is very beautiful pop etc etc ...

  Utilization

  The handle is very pleasant each access to acute very easy, this guitar is very light. but watch the spacing between the strings and the neck is particularly large which could bring some people not used. I am delighted me.

  Sounds

  Sutout I play blues and finger picking and this quitar is particularly interesting. The acoustic sound is very detailed and very sharp Crystal clear medium of exellent. I wanted a little more bass this guitar is amazing acoustics say it is an integrated chorus sound is so large.
  
  connected it is very effective also easy setting its own dirty dry or fatty recreation. simple built-in tuner is effective. harmonics are AWESOME

  Overall Opinion

  I use depui 3 months it looks like whatever I will have preferred unglazed. value for money is very good. but try before you buy it even when it sounds so a jumbo jumbo. buy a jumbo not buy a guitar but a jumbo.

  ToyMoy's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  See other reviews

  Utilization

  The handle is really excellent for me. The pan shot me change my life too APRS dreadnought before. She falls hair cell involved sitting or standing even if it is big enough (like any jumbo what!). No weight problem. The mcaniques are good. It is played with an impeccable onions once RULES (trs is not hard).
  
  
  
  I think the bad reviews previous ones (except may be one even if just a little wobbly SERIES but given the standards Takamine m'tonnerait) come from people who rgler not know their instrument: I think I tried 5 523SC diffrent and all taient really good at finishing as much as its level Once set! If not, indeed, if one seeks the parlor ct tuft of cedar in all, well have to go direct to buy a Takamine Jumbo, it's stupid. Anyway ... Just has a little m'nerve criticism while they are excellent instruments.
  
  
  
  Anyway, for me the sound is really gnial, battery what I was looking, but quite direct super rich, full of harmonics at the point position with some game you can have a small chorus (I do not know not how to say otherwise) that have large Gibson on hard we all. I love the picking, the ARPG, major agreements, has plans if they really want is also full of subtlety when necessary. It s'coute prs as much by far! NB: It MRIT good strings (the EXP is great on it).
  
  
  
  Branch was always the same as the piezo ct stuff keep $ 100,000 (the small electric ct of AIGS The systems with only one "real" can of micro pass) but sounds really nickel direct console or better yet, a ddi amp of course. The possible corrections are endless with the pramp is simply perfect. If you have more chance of having qq small effects, some rverb for a solo, a small chorus of pretty chords, and it was a pure professional sound is stunning for this price.

  Sounds

  I play some bluegrass / jazz picking and finger the house, especially the rock / pop-rock group: is really for all these uses, even if a fund would be half the IDAL in some cases, we can always be his little sound that does it well and let themselves go, even unplugged. Compltement I am in love. Littralement bury the guitars of friends when boeuffe, do not tell them, but it's even true

  Overall Opinion

  I bought it there a little over a year APRS cum long enough to have stores in my region, and qute Navarre Grail: I do not know what to blame, except that it is not a Gib '(but hey, it's four times the price too!). The pramp is gnial (notch + eq + phase + ... etc!) - The finishes are great classes and really, the sound is both pure and trs rich, jouabilit excellent. In addition trs trs prices are far from being prohibitive for this standard of quality. Takamine 20/20 on this one!

  padl83's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Takamine Coren.
  
  Jumbo C / Away
  
  Table pica solid back and wicker covers in Saddle Flamm pearl rosette and pearl buttons also.
  
  Prampli takamine (tuner, notch, prsence, treble middle bass)
  
  Micro sensor under the saddle.
  
  mcaniques chrome.
  
  Channel Rabl.

  Utilization

  The handle is enjoyable trs, freight slide perfectly.
  
  CHAC is easy to acute (cutaway)
  
  The Aesthetics of this guitar is PERFECT, it's Russian labor all points of view, the back is beautiful, and the pick-up gives a trs attractive table is the highlight of this guitar.
  
  it is under control, but ngatif point: it is VERY heavy!
  
  The acoustic sound is round trs, trs hot, but is "offered" ie it from perpendicular to the front, in other words, it is better to be the one that costs play plutt that of be the one who plays ... (Damage) the sound does not go back and do it "feels" not the guitar.
  
  the amplified sound is aggressive but warm. Once again, the piezo BCP is too strong, and some new guitars, the sensor is dsquilibr ds beginners. (15 Repair Tool on average: the original problem.)
  
  In fact, agreement on the ropes once amplified, not the guitar!

  Sounds

  Musical style: Rock Franaise, rock / pop, blues and jazz solos are easy to play with extra light strings, but the sound does not match the jazzy style.
  
  On a Mesa Boogie amp, mesa boogie is an insult that should receive as his suprieur ...
  
  The sounds are relatively enjoyable (you still not break even sugar free) but the rest of Coren, the best guitar line EG, no doubt, but can not Japanese ankle.

  Overall Opinion

  I used it for a year, the APRS "eg 540 sc", it is better so, the size of the fund is to bcp, but no more.
  
  Once again, I would say it's a great guitar ... From the moment it attaches a wall as it is beautiful ...
  
  The report price is poor quality, like most takamine ... They use their high-end MODELS used by some players like Goldman or Sinatra, but these are the Japanese, and you have to invest a total consecration to have a proper MODEL.
  
  I have since bought a real guitar: Canada: There is nothing in common between these instruments.
  
  left for Aesthetics, I'll strongly deprecated unless you vaniteu your ...

  Esthetique nice

  Utilization

  Easy access to acute
  
  Jumbo but good grip
  
  Its difficult to get proper compar other guitars price equivalent

  Sounds

  I do not like the sound empty, not very flat terrain.
  
  Branch a little better but not ecstasy.

  Overall Opinion

  I tried it in stores for some time and I said, it's a takamine? ho hum.
  
  
  
  Then I looked a little better, and manufacturing takamine would effectively lost its luster as many people. It was not the same 15-20 years ago.
  
  
  
  It seems that the type EAN 10 c models (more expensive) prsentent a quality-price ratio much better than eg sc got something.
  
  
  
  I dislike: sound, grip
  
  I love: the aesthetics, but watch out for surprises on the shades.
  
  
  
  I do not have this instrument.

  tomate rouge's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  See above for CHARACTERISTICS, no complaints

  Utilization

  The handle is trs enjoyable, it's a real pleasure, Access in acute is no problem, ergonomics is good, attention is a jumbo size so it can be a big, but personally I drang that does not at all far from it. Gives you one easy to sound good? ba just give then the sound is good yes-trs

  Sounds

  This beautiful Takamine is perfect for my style of music, we can play on many records without problem. Connect to an amplifier and the sound is beautiful! I help on a Peavy Bandit 112 is a joy, the sound is clear, prcis, flawless!

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 9 months now and I still love her so much! What I love most is her look, she is beautiful, too beautiful too I'm in love !!!!! I find the report quality price trs good, she can score one, but it is really good.
  
  Expriance with no problem I do it again this choice

  bebabeloula's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  It is an electro-acoustic guitar, as jumbo, cutaway.
  
  The massive table is pica, the mahogany neck and rosewood (20 squares)
  
  Back in the saddle and wicker covers.
  
  The MODEL is a prampli TH4NT with including a tuner, a dviation EQ, a "notch filter" that removes "surgically" the frquences boring and a "MID Contour"
  
  Adjustable by the volume and bass, and treble mdium individually.

  Utilization

  The neck is mahogany and allows rapid movement
  
  CHAC is fairly easy to acute but only a lowering of APRS strings as if they are a little out of the handle (default current for guitars from the factory)
  
  
  
  This is an impressive guitar (Jumbo) but remains lgre. You get used to quickly

  Sounds

  Sound acoustics perfect for jumbo-specific coaching, but also for arpges.
  
  In addition, once a branch, it can reach the sound of Dreadnoughts and can keep the original sound.
  
  I play a lot of jazz and rock songs like particulirement intimate. Rsonnance allows its acoustics, which can be powerful but also friendly.

  Overall Opinion

  His positive point of the Jumbo CHARACTERISTICS = fund rsonnance quite important but adgage a particular sound that allows audio prowess in freeze-picking, blues, jazz and taping .. And what all!
  
  Ngatif point, it may be a map between the strings and handle quite large but it is quickly rgl default or by a Luthier or the music store
  
  you sold it (made gnralement advantage of the guarantee)
  
  Regarding the report qualitprix: I got it directly from a vendor at a price of 650 euros ..... APRS well have discussed (it silent at a price of 750 departing) but Note that form Jumbo involves buying a cot that can cover specially expensive.
  
  But I do not regret the purchase at all, and I always rgale ds ... I start, I'll stop over!

  Utilization

  Channel quite nice and easy to use
  
  The access to no problem with the sharp cutaway true more ...
  
  ergonomics, handling is easy, despite the large box-shaped jumbo that allows the cons of having a really terrible ...

  Sounds

  I play a lot of picking songs that Ainis ryhtmées enough and it fits perfectly with these styles there and I think you will find your happiness too ...
  
  
  
  The sound is crystalline and articulate issued with a very broad spectrum, low and well defined méduims ...
  
  
  
  I love the sound (a little more bass could be better but would have been ca c a personal opinion)

  Overall Opinion

  I bought a few weeks ago still new to 570 euros ... I am very happy with my investment, I tried many guitars before falling in love as much as the aesthetics of this beautiful sound scratches ... I actually hester when buying this guitar between Cedar and art and violin, I decided for this one because the sound more articulate on my Takamine, the oscillator is also more efficient (more settings and a built-in tuner what more ...)
