MGR/ArrdeeTakamine EAN 40 C
Published on 12/17/04 at 15:00I wanted a lower priced instrument with a great electric sound. I wasn't trying to get a bellowing acoustic only sound.
When in a muisc store environment it is easy to be side tracked with salesmen and customer traffic. So I found myself naturally enjoying the natural reverberation of the instrument and the smooth action that it provided while talking to the salesman about it and other guitars I had tried out. I had to stop and ask if the reverb was on in the amp. It was not!
It lacks the inlay features and the strum guard. It isn't a Martin which was what I went shopping for. It isn't as familiar an instrument as Taylor of Gibson, so if image is everything then Takamine is a draw...…

There is no draw backs with this guitar. There are many things Takamine does that in time will become characteristcs not found in their competion. Their use of eletronics and construction features will become their namesake. I don't mean Sake'
If you arw planning to record with this guy and want the best tone and tuning then this guitar will save time in laying down tracks. You won't find out after that great solo that you were out of tune.

MGR/Derek MokTakamine EAN-40C Acoustic Electric
Published on 04/17/04 at 15:00I played this guitar for half an hour at Sam Ash in Los Angeles. It was selling for $849.
The slim neck is finished very nicely, and the guitar's matte surface felt instantly comfortable. I'm not a fan of cedar tops, but the acoustic sound on this one was the best I've heard with cedar wood. String spacing was comfortable, and the gold hardware and adornments look very classy. Built in tuner with two selectable modes -- seriously useful.
The sound isn't as warm or loud as my Martin DCX-1E, which was lower in price but sounded far better. The preamp controls are on the shoulder, rather than on the top edge of the upper bout as it should be for easy access.

The sound is a little bit mellow and didn't respond well to hard strumming. I tried playing some Evanescence songs on it using percussive strumming and the sound lacked a little balls.
Very high. This guitar looks and feels high-class.
While this guitar's sound is not as good as my Martin or most Taylors I've tried, it's still a high-quality instrument with a great inviting feel.
