All user reviews for the Takamine EG440SC

See description.
Just a clarification on the original strings are D'Addario EXP16 - 12/53.

UTILIZATION

The Takamine is a good guitar for beginners, with mechanical quality, quality manufacturing, a massive table, good grip for a child of 13/14 years.

SOUNDS

Strucutre its manufacturing gives a pleasant sound but lacks a bit of power and depth in graves.Le sounds warm and well balanced is.
Waiting to try it with an acoustic amp.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought it a week ago after trying many store, my son chose it for its warm and round, despite its "lack" of acoustic power in public place. Nice build quality, made in China is not a guarantee of poor quality.
Acquired in Sonovente.com Bundle for excellent value for money.

This is a mini jumbo cutaway with what is rather a nice solid spruce. for the rest of the woods, I lack a bit of info ...
This is a Chinese-made. must admit that the finish could be improved, I have a report to the store because it was sorely lacking polish in places, but still acceptable, especially in this price range.

in electronics, piezo preamp and simple, so effective.

UTILIZATION

This is the main strength of this guitar I think. the handle is fine and enjoyable trs touch because of satin varnish. Access in sharp is easy and well thought out. you scratch and you get a sound I like, powerful and without pos "gling" untimely. Easy living ... mdiator as in the fingers, no problem.

SOUNDS

As for sound, it's pretty serious, round but by varying the attack and technique, I think we can be misled in many style. In any case, to scrape the bar singing campfire songs, was the fact ...
for now, I have not tried too electro for lack of a right amp, but on a very light orange, a good DJ does. I'll have it bothers some in the recording home studio to see what it was in the belly ...

OVERALL OPINION

had a good week now that I Discoveries, and a few hours on the clock ... I do not know if it's the honeymoon effect, but for now I'm satisfied (apart from the return box vendor for cosmetic reasons, but that even when their importance. ..)
I tried a package in this price range, sometimes more Chréa (notament I think the Ibanez EW 50), but the Takamine is well above its simplicity and immediate handling, with the sound you need.
Certainly it is not an exceptional guitar, but the ratio quality price is right, and aa the air of being a serious and enjoyable instrument to play. That's all I ask him to put in my tracks acoustic models of rock to make me happy by singing the old times ...

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?
Yes, very fine polish not too slippery, not too hanging, so perfect at this level.
- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
yes, thanks to the cutaway.
- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Excellent ergonomics, the shape is very nice, the guitar is not too heavy.

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?
to the rhythm, accompanied by singing, and to sometimes some solos, it is perfect.
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I use a 50W marshall sound. I use a little reverb and delay, to have a beautiful sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the guitar for a week. I love the sound, ergonomics, look (abalone rosette, throws her =))
I tried many other models before buying it (lag, cort ...)
excellent value for money, I would do this choice, if the opportunity presented itself.

UTILIZATION

SOUNDS

Guitar with his really great. it is suitable for style folk, pop rock, and even possibility of solo. this guitar also have a nice little sound distortion.
If not in use "normal" ^ ^ this guitar has a typical crystal-clear sound takamine.
level amp I use a guitar amp, line six spider III 30w amp and an acoustic, but I prefer to use with the amp electric.
this guitar really is an idyllic Autan my taste with no amplification or amplification has one arrives easily find an acoustic guitar sound ^ ^.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for a year and she sue me for that first seduced by the sound and shape. as soon as I went I knew assay to buy it. an excellent value for money. with experience. I choose to do it again for its really great and I like the look pretty despite the table a bit dull at the beginning, since it has become even darker and more beautiful. =)

This part has already been seen before.

UTILIZATION

For me the ergonomics are perfect, the handle does not catch, the key is good too.
Access to acute is easy.

SOUNDS

The guitar sound is very characteristic "Takamine" sound rather crystalline and very deep resonance of the guitar is very well done. If you want to do country riffs or chord, this guitar will charm you. I also play pumps gypsy jazz, the sound record is good but it really does not carry the sound takamine type.

OVERALL OPINION

I just buy it and there was an agreement that loop I found her beautiful and am not tired.
I love the ease of access to acute on this guitar.
The value for money is extra, I got a little less than 300 on Thomann

I will ever be widely this choice (or maybe try wanders a superior model).

characteristics have already been mentioned.



UTILIZATION

the handle is really nice and easy to play, but it's true that it's c + + current in recent years especially the acoustic pr, the handles of the electric st slightly less improved in comparison, I think.



SOUNDS

preamp, acordeur is good, good influence of the equalizer which was not used bcp to this because it is pretty balanced I think.
Even if compared to my Ibanez PF-10 BK, it lacks safe, and also burns a little. But his medium st beautiful and slightly stained without exaggeration.

Without direct comparative listening she is doing very very well, with also because it points slightly weak but also strong points in relation to others.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 1 year and qqs months, I used mostly by pure sound, and I've somewhat neglected my other acoustics.
Especially thanks to st round and feel that we find easily with little, or qqs our mood.
In addition she is beautiful, an ideal size, light enough ...

What I like least is lack of safe st ds particularly serious, but it's still very acceptable.
Student Reports for money really good

I would do this choice ts blows even today and probably tomorrow because supply has not changed hugely in 1 ½ years.
