Series made in Japan (not Korea as much of Takamine guitars).

UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant, easy game, with excellent access to the treble cutaway. This is a guitar relatively small which increases the comfort of play

SOUNDS

The sound is more crystalline (but never aggressive) and the notes stand out really well. That is why it is well suited for fingerpicking and flatpicking (to pick). Personally I find the sound a little late (acoustic unamplified) for solos.
The amplified sound is very good, both on an acoustic guitar amp for a guitar amp.
It is well suited for recording using an external microphone. Live the internal microphone does a good job.
For several years I use Elixir strings XL for this guitar and the sound is very flattering.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 5-6 years. I had tried in a store because its great look attracted me, then its playability and sound convinced me 100%.
In the price range is an excellent guitar, I have never regretted the purchase!
For fun:
Below is a link where you can see it played by a member of the Eagles.
