    UTILIZATION

    I love the handle easy to play and I put in a set of ernie ball hybrid that gives a little more power in the bass

    Beautiful, beautiful, this guitar is a rgal eye. But that's not all we are asking a guitar ... Aware as to please our ears??

    UTILIZATION

    The cutting table allows ACCS to acute really comfortable, even if they rarely ventured 20 th hh electro box ... Ergonomics are good, like the guitar well, and handle really well in the style Takamine, less easy to play on guitar or as Seagull Sherwood who handle a little wider. But otherwise, really comfortable for both an academic style that to play with the thumb on top. The body is slightly smaller than that of pure EAN and Dreadnought Taka from home, so the sound is a bit less fat, but there is a grain ... but a grain ...

    SOUNDS

    So ... aware to please our ears?? Oh yes!!

    Well, this is a Taka, Taka sound so, but as I said before it has a grain inimitable, that of Santa F. A deep characters, a lightweight sail which gives characters a deeper sound. It fills the spaces in aisment rhythm and lets reconnatre in a trio or a quartet of guitars.
    But it is when it dvoile branch all its magic ... beautiful ... really ... I had an Ovation, Seagull and heard a lot of lctros, but, ca has played in the big leagues. She is really loose sound quality. I put a small 9 nanmoins because if the sound is beautiful branch he is a bit less noise (OK OK I chipotte).

    OVERALL OPINION

    Bah, I say more ... I usually do not like art critics logieuses, but the I have found nothing wrong, yet I looked. Try it and then the news you tell me OK?

    Petie Jumbo cutaway made in Japan.
    All solid cedar top, back, and mahogany wicker covers. Palissander keys. Rosette Inlay Rabl (Egyptian motifs). Mcaniques oil bath. Prampli CT4B with chromatic tuner (for my version). Walnut finish gives the guitar a beautiful color.

    UTILIZATION

    The neck is thin but lgrement Galb jumbo. Guitar plutt easy and well made.

    Lgrement smaller than a jumbo classic, it possde a good balance bass / treble.
    Only small BMOL, the belt clip is wrong place, right on the heels .. Which can interfere for Access in treble.

    SOUNDS

    INTERESTED grain, great for blues. Once connected everything is possible. I mainly play in open tuning DAGDAD, good ba…

    See the official website: [https://www.takamine.com/?fa=detail&mid=1099&sid=352]

    UTILIZATION

    Trs This beautiful guitar, with its chocolate-colored, has a handle trs enjoyable to play with a CASC ease thanks to the pan with acute stroke. All notes are correct (heureusement. ..) even in the acute trs.
    This is a guitar which I find quite lgre, compared to folks including jumbo, and medium (always compared to plus sizes standarts of folks).
    The EQ of the rglage prampli trs significantly influence the sound. I personally make every dish, cutting a little low.
    The tuner sr Intgr is very practical.

    The tuner sr Intgr is very practical.

    SOUNDS

    Its level, it is perfect. I record directly into my MBox, through a prampli ART V3, or by making noise with a microphone placed in front. Sound goes all the wealth (especially in making acoustic). Powerful bass but still prcises, of medium and treble well dtach, crystalline, without agressivit.

    A friend who has a studio pro found the recorded sound ... "Pro"! (No effect or EQ).

    At stake "salon" (no recording, no amp), it dlivre vibrating sensations! Many EHJV if you attack with finesse if you're soft. Depending on the type of game, we sometimes feel like a twelve string (j'exagre) or have a lightweight flanger / chorus for the best effect. This is probably the shape and architecture of the body (?) And well to wood utiliss sr.

    Rcemment I change the strings of origin (Dean Markley?) To the elixir. I found the sound a little metallic at beginners, with the feeling of having lost the PCHE at low, but eventually over time the sound became trs pro (he parat elixir that have a small break-PERIOD, dixit the package).

    I do not use it with an amp, I do not, no opinion on that point then. on the other hand, they say it is one of the best guitars for live (sound takamine) because the bass is always matrises the micro / pramp.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for two years and I am satisfied with TRS. A rich, enjoyable look. I have other beautiful prfre MODELS guitar like Gibson or Ovations, including roundness / richness of sound. But the Obviously it's a matter of subjective taste.

    For me it's a guitar pro, an amateur I am.
