I had the 1750th
system is a preamp Fishman Prefix Premium
double take as his Yamaha in some, ie
sensor under saddle and gooseneck microphone in the box.
With a knob to mix the two sounds + contrast, frequency, bass, treble
phase inverter.
There is also a tuner that can be very useful even if not precise
as a Boss pedal for example, but the sound is cut as soon as the branch.

UTILIZATION

Everything is excellent

SOUNDS

I do not appreciate too much the sound of the Takamine and Yamaha,
I prefer the sound of guitars U.S. or Canadian.

I play on the little Marshall Acoustic.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this guitar for two months and only one small complaint, the system preamplifier
Premium: the tuner is limited and micro swan inside the box is so accurate that it captures the moinde noise rubbing of clothing on the body and even the public at Live!
But with a slight dossage with the piezo you can have a more alive.
I had this system because I wanted a Martin electro already for not having to go to a luthier but frankly, given the quality of the sound of the guitar, the sensor in the saddle can largely do the trick.

Because that is where everything is fun, although less power than dreadgnougth because of the cutaway, the sound is great, it is soft lens at will, what a true Martin! I listen to a lot of Dylan and Johnny Cash (his cover album) and I found their sound!
This is great to play on the scratches, you agree to a ground and it vibrates across the sustain is terrific in open chords, play folk-singer is monstrous!
arpeggios ring of hell. The picking is correct. In chorus is very good.
I recently played at a festival, it's confusing, you plug the guitar and you have a terrible sound with virtually no control on the console and letting all the knobs in the middle.
In fact it's a great guitar, very easy to play, very sweet and the more it smells good!
I tried many guitars before buying Takamine, Gibson, Yamaha, Seagull, Taylor, Larrivee, I had a budget of 1500th, but I advise all those who have the budget
wait a bit because from the 1700th is really going on a course in quality and this on all brands except Larrivée who have super models (L03, D03) that ring of hell for a lower price but 1500th they are a bit stiff to play.
I love Gibson but the models that interest me are rather to the 2500th (J185, J50)
this will be my next scratch! The sound is totally different from Martin.

This skyscraper is a true massacre so if it again, I will not hesitate a single second!
