Electro-acoustic guitar TAKAMINE EF261SAN
I love this guitar because it is compact with a balanced tone and passe-partout,
(Solid Cedar, Mahogany table box)
namely that this guitar is one of the best selling brand
Beautiful craft items found
It is handmade in Japan by the department "Pro Series" which used to produce high quality instruments.

All parts are carefully selected woods are lovely,
(Normal is mahogany hum!) Over the table is solid cedar! still hum!
and varnish (Gloss Wine Red) provides a high-quality printing for audio enjoyment
and visual

REMEMBER that the sound quality of a guitar is mainly determined by the choice of wood used in its manufacture.
Here's why "hum! "(Information on wood)

The solid cedar
is often used for making the soundboard acoustic guitar -
It delivers a warm and open sound with great harmonics.
Solid wood delivers a better sound than the wood veneer, as vibrate more freely.

The Mahogany
Is often used for: Back / Sides
The advantage is that it is lighter than rosewood, maple or koa, with a sound often higher.
Mahogany has a good dynamic. The sound is warm and round with mediums that look good and clear highs without being aggressive.
It is a dense wood produces a full sound, very warm, with a note duration (sustain) important.
His bass is generous but still clear and compact
its dense and velvety mids and airy highs ..

FXC shape, it is part of the "New & Sante Fe" series
include a rosewood fingerboard and bridge
CT4B a preamp for the most recent (I have the preamp Graph Ex without tuner model)
because my takamine dates from 1999
FYI the original case is GC1118T
Antique Color Gloss

UTILIZATION

The sound is fine and clear with clear mids and treble slap (without the aggressive side)
it behaves perfectly well when you have to play with a rhythm section,
and it is also ideal for the studio.
The handle is very comfortable and the handling is immediate and no problem
access to acute! solo "hey joe" goes smoothly

SOUNDS

Although its small size makes the body very nice playing fingers
it is often used on stage by professional guitarists of pop, jazz, blues ...
who wants to have a light guitar, small footprint that does not produce feedback,
even at high volume.
I use either live sound and also a marshall acoustic amp AS50 and tremendously pure acoustic.
I play a lot of variety of blues and rock without moderation!

OVERALL OPINION

As you have understood this guitar is really well equipped at the violin
and sound, a pure delight,
Whether for the variety of jazz, blues, she arrives to meet in many areas
High end guitar which can never be separated especially with his size goes everywhere.
Mine dat 1999 she is 15 years old and continued to improve with time,
I tried several time between guitar in the same price range (+ -) € 1,000
but I always came back to this one, so I'm not ready to change!
