  Ddv's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " A guitar very endearing"

  Characteristics

  Made in Japan like any other high-end guitars from Takamine.
  
  Natural Series for professionals or amateurs who are looking for more sophisticated guitars of good quality and reliable on stage.
  
  
  
  Type: Dreadnought cutaway (with cutaway) for access to acute
  
  Solid cedar top, back and sides solid mahogany, too.
  
  Frets and Rosewood
  
  Tube preamp, very nice and convenient because the tuner is built.
  
  Global Manufacturing is simple but neat. Japan's pledge of quality.
  
  No decoration but the key is loaded in the quality of wood used.

  Utilization

  The handle is easy to play and I share the same comments on other reviews.
  
  Ergonomics is good but hey, a dreadnought could not agree all sizes. It is quite impressive nonetheless.
  
  
  
  Access to acute is ok with cutaway ..... but it does not stretch on an acoustic anyway.

  Sounds

  Many critics criticize this Takamine guitar (Takamine or in general) but I think it sounds good. The sound is warm is subtle. It must be some playing time so that it opens new because it sounds a bit steep (be patient a little).
  
  
  
  I can tell you that this is a good guitar because I have the chance to be proud owner of a Martin D28 and a Taylor 414. Evidence that Takamine yet still my home and I play very often.
  
  
  
  A lot of my friends even prefer the Takamine in his warm, result of mixing cedar & mahogany.
  
  
  
  Regarding power I have to admit that it does not have an impressive chest, but once connected it works wonders with his tube preamp, connected to an acoustic amp, preferably as the result is not the same if you plug it into a amp for electric guitars.
  
  
  
  Overall, this is an elegant guitar is easy to get into a mix. It does not sound as bad acoustics despite its pure sound power while a lil bit limited.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for about 2 years and I am always pleased with her, or even more happy because it has really improved with time.
  
  
  
  I had the "opportunity to play a lot of scratch for a number of years and I chose this guitar for its discreet appearance, its balanced sound and warm, and of course for the Cool Tube preamp.
  
  
  
  What I like most is that this Takamine is simple, it sounds great perfect complement to my set.
  
  
  
  The price / quality ratio is good despite a growing number of competitors in size that make very good guitars in Asia.
  
  
  
  With experience, yes I do it again the choice.

  srvmac's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " A beautiful guitar but ..."

  Characteristics

  Made in Japan, with amplifier type TCO Dreadnought 1R (on my model).

  Utilization

  Channel:
  
  
  
  Channel pleasant but a little thicker at the bottom a Martin or Taylor. I find it comfortable but pass over the thumb is not always easy when you move the 7th box (depending on the hands of each).
  
  
  
  Easy Access acute down because the skirt is cut.
  
  
  
  FLAT PICKING clearly a guitar. I find it does not sound enough for acoustic finger picking.

  Sounds

  For sound. It takes at least 2 years for the guitar sounds less stiff and more. It becomes comfortable from some playing time in fact.
  
  
  
  In acoustics: I dislike more than that. It may very balanced (too) flat and neutral. It does not really sing and some personality.
  
  
  
  on the other hand, beautiful harmonics in the wood, sustain "in" the guitar (if you stick your ear on the bar, we hear a lot of shades).
  
  
  
  Unfortunately, we do not find this effect outside of the acoustic instrument. Too much too little volume and projection. The mild but little power indeed. Its very round table with Cedar.
  
  
  
  Hype: This is another world:)
  
  
  
  We find this both a character to Takamine. The preamp tube works perfectly. Lots of power and heat. A clean and versatile settings. It can get loud in the treble if you push too Eq. The cool tube allows good catches of his (I put a microphone in front of studio and uses the integrated preamp and more on a second track, the effect of guaranteed depth).

  Overall Opinion

  I've had a little over 2 years. I tried the Seagull, Ibanez and Yamaha but the Takamine is a favorite. Nuanced afterwards because she did not plan enough in pure acoustic sound. It was quickly covered by the voices of people at a party with friends for example, or outdoors. There is no power.
  
  
  
  on the other hand, once connected, is happiness. This is clearly an electric guitar. Prefer a real acoustic (without preamp) to play at home and / or finger-picking.
  
  
  
  Live, it will do wonders with his preamp effective.
  
  
  
  Warning: the only real flaw for me a very fragile because of satin varnish (no protection against bumps and snags, however small, this guitar brand instantly).
  
  
  
  I do not do it again this election and wait to buy a Martin D28 or Gibson Jumbo (J200).
  
  
  
  Meanwhile, it suits me perfectly electro only. It's a shame it is not as well-in acoustics. Surely it will age very well with its solid wood and quality.

  Scribbler12000's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Guitar factory in Japan and for a more ide prcise check out the excellent post by jerome_studio video ;-)
  
  CHARACTERISTICS dj cited below

  Utilization

  Channel: trs end super enjoyable thanks in varnish trs end that slides the hand alone.
  
  Easy Access in acute pan coupbr /> ergonomics: it's a "Dreadnought" so it is a little less comfortable with a mini or jumbo Takamine OM, but a gambling
  
  Sound: WOW the best I've heard before and I heard the sound of competing (Fender, Ibanez, Epiphone, LBS, Taylor etc..). My guitar teacher is carrment jealous!

  Sounds

  I play with a bit of everything and it suits me well trs.
  
  I use a Behringer amp Ultratone 450 amps for acoustic guitars sound asschent too and I do not like.
  
  Sounds: acoustic is wonderful, you feel immediately the quality of the wood giving it a beautiful sound. Branch is different: the prampli lamp gives a sound a little too "dry, crystalline" I got so I put it that barely half if not mean too much fingers slide over the handle and all the little sounds parasites induced by finger movement. The bass is a little too Submitted by rglage "all 0" so I drop to the max.
  
  Once rglages is there more that is rgaler!

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 1 year APRS have tried lots of brands in MODELS Different.
  
  What I wanted I found a no frills guitar, a guitar of quality that we take, with which we rgale and want to keep the + long as possible.
  
  This I tried and I fell in love and she makes around me jealous.
  
  Obviously I have set the price for the quality and frankly when you see your exact there is nothing to be ashamed in the face of competing commercial price fMeasure as Taylor. This guitar is perfect finish and ease of playing is exemplary.
  
  Although I sr remake that choice.
  
  Soon I will put a notice on the Takamine Limited Edition 2005 ...

  Lodja's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  See more advice.
  
  Please note due to vibration prampli: it's a shame for a guitar of this price.

  Utilization

  Channel quite enjoyable, not as an end Martin.
  
  The lack of cash and therefore rsonnace power (thickness of wood too much?)
  
  The mcaniques tiennenet trs good agreement.

  Sounds

  Acoustic sound fairly neutral, and long, it's a bit boring, monotonous view: there is no tural personality that emerges.
  
  This is amplified further asserts that his personality: the electro-acoustic, it's specially for Takamine, it can not be the gure.
  
  Well, the CTP or CTP-1-2 is, indeed, a good innovation.
  
  However, for me, I play without prfre lamp that seems less artificial to me ... but hey, electronics as such is artificial dj trs.
  
  In all cases, a m'vite to change the batteries every two hours.

  Overall Opinion

  Living in open country, I do not have have tried many other guitars before buying.
  
  For the price, it's a good guitar, but if c'tait again, I would look for ways to try to more competition.
  
  I think my personality makes me me focus more on Martin that are easier to play and have a more particular ... that said, my wallet may be I would quickly return the Ralite. ..

  jerome_studio!!!'s review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  It is manufactured in Japan. I saw a video that I recommend on making guitars
  
  
  
  Although sr production is almost completely automated and provides only the Japs trs little love guitars but all the better! It will be nothing that you and you will have to give love.
  
  
  
  The ctp-2 (for my guitar rcente) is great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  
  
  The wood for the handle is trs beautiful: there are beautiful reflections.
  
  Unfortunately the best of the scratches on the back. But I really like the cedar table

  Utilization

  The handle is trs trs enjoyable
  
  CHAC to acute: for a cut ...
  
  
  
  The sound that kills just once: Go and test to see

  Sounds

  It should be my style of music: folk: What sound!
  
  
  
  I use it on a fender amp electric at the moment: it works well trs.
  
  
  
  The CTP-2 (the same as the one with two diodes and more) is extra !!!!!!!!!! Her first name is Personal Jesus. The effect of the lamp is felt trs trs quickly. One test in a lower part of the lamp in his total and fear comes when one reminds piezo sound pure, and the finger seems to be scared back the percentage of light (alone). REALLY good trs

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a week
  
  Likes: his mouth and sober matte
  
  I dislike: the 5th fret that borders on mine (and yes ptite error but we will change this with a luthier)
  
  
  
  The ratio quality price is excellent
  
  
  
  With experience, I do it again this choice

  maillotketchup's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Well ... I'm not going to add on qualitée of this instrument.
  
  My experience: I play with every weekend live in different rooms for a year. It is his age. Amps on the table ... or in class!
  
  I do not wear it. The batteries make me two concerts. Always take a set of batteries.
  
  I am comfortable on it. Picking, blues, Rhythmic wild aggressive rock are my domain.
  
  I had to do as a replacement with an accordion to accompany traditional bagpipes. No problem in all areas. I put him in the ass ... boos pedals for electric ... it's genius! EM20 for the boss. Seriously, it sounds of thunder!
  
  For strings. I think I had to adjust. It does not frieze, but I frequently breaks the "ground".
  
  I had a en10C before.
  
  I did not regret it.
  
  For about 1000 euros, if you have the money, still dark ... try it before ... just not to please you! The lamp, pfou! Beautiful!
  
  For cons, the look ... blah blah!
  
  Voila!
  
  A plus!

  Utilization

  Well

  Sounds

  Well

  Overall Opinion

  Well

  Cerrydan's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Japanese
  
  T say everything on the other posts.
  
  
  
  An excellent Qualit / Price
  
  Tip: always prvoir A4 Replacement Battery

  Utilization

  Channel enjoyable, but the position again if the ground etc. on the cot a bit too "quiet"
  
  CHAC in acute ..... as on all cutaway guitar .....
  
  Weight excellent (lgre), we do a little concert 2:00, back and shoulder will be fine
  
  For sound:
  
  Sound: A vacuum is not the top, by industry against something else .....
  
  Warning! on a sound system to put all the knobs back, then correct the mixing desk, and finally correct on the guitar down.
  
  It is good to go also through volume pedals (But it all lctroacoustiques).

  Sounds

  To play folk, rock, Celtic, it is very well.
  
  I use a live sound system with an ID It is all the better.
  
  The stand out a bit too sharp to be corrected downwards.
  
  Trend curling to all rviser 8 months / 1 year.
  
  I use Martin light strings it sounds good.

  Overall Opinion

  I have my TAN10C 14 months, before a Seagull (1700) sold almost immediately, no doubt for almost two times less, the Takamine sounds two times better!
  
  If I had known!

  Pierrouns's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  - Made in Japan Takamine
  
  - Solid cedar top, 20 keys,
  
  - Preamp Tube CTP-1
  
  - The time-based is a few seconds.
  
  - The mechanical gilded with fine gold, and oil bath
  
  - The buttons are pearly orange.
  
  - The logo is gold Takamine also the most beautiful effect
  
  - Points accorche strap strong position which is not the case on all guitars.
  
  - Volume and 3-band EQ (adjustable midrange frequency more)
  
  - Adjusting the light
  
  - Integrated tuner preamp which is extremely fast and accurate

  Utilization

  - Channel pleasant
  
  - Easy Access acute
  
  - It's a light guitar and well-trained

  Sounds

  - Suitable to the style of pop / rock
  
  - Laney LA 60C which can bring the chorus, very good sound on this amp.
  
  - There are still many that stand out sharp but manageable with the frequency of mediums.
  
  - Very good midrange and serious thanks to the hot tube amp

  Overall Opinion

  - I use it for 6 months
  
  - I played a fender before I bought 5 years ago to 2700 francs nothing to do! The Takamine is much better.
  
  - The value for money is acceptable, it is better to € 1,000 in a takamine, rather than € 1000 in Taylor, that Taylor is the price of low-end and it's not worth a takamine (at that price I repeats)!

  P'tit dav''s review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Prampli srement trs reliable, but I note a serious vibration in the lamp!

  Utilization

  Channel enjoyable, like all Takamine guitars. Access in acute pan is facilitated by the blow but its ergonomics (dreanought form) and less easy to use forms that jumbo.
  
  The sound is without a doubt, trs good! It's a powerful trs I prfre far all Taylor guitars that are in low-end, two times more expensive!

  Sounds

  Trs good sound but the fact of playing in picking and / or attack more frankly the bass vibrates the lamp of the "cool tube", the prampli by itself vibrates too. This is dtail extrment Gnant for musicians looking for a sound without any parasite! Taylor guitars are actually more reliable level.

  Overall Opinion

  This guitar appatient one of my lves (I use 3 years personnellment a Takamine Santa Fe ESF 40 C, with a silent prampli is much more reliable than light "dessert sometimes progress the quality and robustness of prampli, so the lctronique)
  
  The +: the sound
  
  The -: The prampli, vibration
  
  Good quality price
  
  
  
  I put an overall score of 6 from Santa Fe and my guitars I've tried (Taylor ...)
  
  I invite you to see the opinion OPDs for Santa Fe ESF 40 C for 50 ASR Marshall amp, the sound system for HK Lucas 600Watts ... ... ...
