UTILIZATION
The handle:
The handle is bigger than a gibson Les Paul, it is varnished and very comfortable. it glides very well but I'm not sure it is suitable for solos but the original setting is something to be because the action is very high.
Fret-buttons:
A pleasure!
Form-weight
It is huge this guitar, and it imposes for me, gibson fan, it seems to me slightly.
Tuner.
SOUNDS
It is fitted with D'Addario EXP strings 12-53 (G string spun) and the strings are perfect for this guitar.
Sound
It is powerful, rich and out perpendicularly from the guitar, so whoever will listen hears better than playing. The sound is "rich" (it's hard to describe) the bass is a bit off but widely heard.
I tried a dozen guitars (ibanez, yamaha, ovation) in this price range and taka was better (to my taste, tested in a soundproof room 2m ²).
In electronics:
I have no amp electro so I've tested in-store
The pre-amp is a TK40. It includes a volume control, 3-band equalization (low, medium and high), EQ bypass, a Notch Filter (notch filter band), a tuner and a mid contour switch. The amp turns on when you insert a standard cable jack (mono 6.35) into the input jack of the guitar.
The EQ bypass is useful if you want to control your sound from a mixing console, or via effects modules. Notch Filter can, in turn, eliminate feedback problems on certain frequencies. Control "Mid Contour" is on the medium frequency (400Hz).
OVERALL OPINION
For me it is very good this guitar a pleasure to play on. this is probably not the best but for the price, I have nothing to complain about.

TK40T preamp is placed on the sounding above the handle, with the following settings: volume, 3-band equalizer (bass, mid, treble) and a setting of "notch". In addition, it includes a tuner very useful and practical.
This guitar is beautiful and has really caught the eye with all its rounded shape and pickgard Gibson type.
UTILIZATION
I had to buy a crate carrying case (model and brand SKB20), because the EG523SC is sent to one carton!
Be careful if you purchase by mail: make sure that the guitar will be well packed. Wink at Thomann sent me a package in the beautiful protected.
Moving on is pretty easy to handle an acoustic guitar, the neck is thin and comfortable, easy access to the treble cutaway (the body is dug in the treble).
The EG523SC jumbo is a guitar, so with a resonance that can be imposing some or hinder certain. Jumbo shape suits me because I'm tall so the cash rather thick does not bother me.
The finishes are good and well finished EG523SC is its rounded curves: it works well in Korea!
SOUNDS
I once played in concert TK40T preamp is excellent in this configuration.
Pure acoustic (without preamp), the guitar has a good sound projection. I rather regret the lack of roundness of mediums, I expected to sound a little less "narrow" and a little more wooded.
I was expecting his approaching sound of Gibson (J100 kind) ... Unfortunately, we are far from acoustically. This is not the same price either!
Jumbo shape naturally boosts the bass, for my part, I have not found too low in front. on the other hand, it seemed to me that mediums are dug, even back from the bass / treble.
Maybe I'm too used to the sound of electric guitars dreadnought guy?
That being said, this recording is pure happiness, EQ preamp can nicely complement the acoustic microphone socket.
The guitar is almost field: folk, rock, blues. For jazz, you should see ...
OVERALL OPINION
In conclusion, the Takamine EG523SC is a beautiful acoustic guitar whose defects are filled with a good preamp. Here is the paradox: buy an acoustic guitar and a good sound with the preamp then amplified and not sound ...
If you want to concerts, she is perfect and beautiful amplified sound good.
Maybe she asked a few years to improve? For my part, I can not wait ... I sold the beautiful mainly because I play guitar a lot less than before (I became bassist in the meantime).
However, it seems to me that opportunity, this guitar is interesting (Jumbo preamp) and a range of attractive price.
Most:
- Nice round
- TK40T quality preamp, tuner
- Form, aesthetics
Cons:
- The acoustic sound
- No flycase, no bagSee less40MGR/Adam E.
Takamine EG523SC
Published on 07/08/10 at 15:00Natural Finish 'Jumbo' 6-string acoustic-electric guitar. It has a beautiful flamed maple siding and back with a maple neck. In all honesty, it is an absolutely beautiful guitar. I starting playing guitar when I was 15 and since then have been in one band where we played mostly covers of alternative songs. I currently and will hopefully be in the future, leading worship in a church. I love the old acoustic fold as well as the modern and some nice soft rock is always a plus in my mind.
I purchased this guitar off of American Musical Supply. They had a great sale going on and I ended up getting the guitar for $449, which is about $250 less than anywhere else.

Wonderful tone, beautiful look, amazing electronics. When plugged in, this baby will blow you away. Clean, crisp...just plain gorgeous.
It needs to be professionally set up when out of the box. The action is a bit high.
Solid and wonderfully made. Excellent all around quality.
This guitar is spectacular. If you are looking for a guitar in its price range, I really feel you cannot beat it. I've played for awhile and have tried many guitars and I honestly feel this ranks up there with some of the more expensive guitars.

Takamine EG523SC
Published on 02/24/04 at 15:00I tried 5 of them and although I loved the sound and playability, there were defects in every one and I did not buy one.
It produces nice high overtones and has a pretty good bass range as well. It has great action. Very playable
I really wanted to buy one of these. The first one I looked at had string buzzes beyond the 12th fret. So did the second, third, fourth and fifth one I looked at!
I did not find a single one of these guitars without a major factory defect. One salesman tried to tell me that the string buzzing was normal. It is not! I could not believe such poor quality in a new instrument.

Action is a little high, but action is adjustable. There is a slight buzz that I believe is coming from the electronics.
its okay (my likes and dislikes)
I am one of two guitarist that currently play music at the 5:00pm mass for my church. This guitar gets the job done, when I am picking I use a Boss Super Corus pedal, when strumming, there is no need for any enhancing equipment. In my household there are six guitars a Fender 3/4 classical, Fender Standard Stratocaster (Made in Mexico), Takamine EG124C Classical, Seagull S6 Cedar, Cort Earth 70/12 (12 str.). For acoustic sound its a hard decision between the Seagull S6 Cedar and Takamine EG523SC, but I would say the Seagull sounds better just a teeeny bit. However, the my Takamine EG523SC is much newer than my Seagull. I do not know how old my Seagull S6 Cedar is, it was purchased as a used guitar. The Takamine has a tighter, brighter sound while the Seagull has a mellower, softer tone. It really depends on what kind of mood my ears are in to really decide on the better sound.
As a guitarist I have been playing for about five years, I started when I was in the seventh grade. I play classical style, in church i play rhythm and I pick/pluck sometimes, and I like to strum and sing.

SOUNDS
Sound acoustics perfect for jumbo-specific coaching, but also for arpges.
In addition, once a branch, it can reach the sound of Dreadnoughts and can keep the original sound.
I play a lot of jazz and rock songs like particulirement intimate. Rsonnance allows its acoustics, which can be powerful but also friendly.
OVERALL OPINION
His positive point of the Jumbo CHARACTERISTICS = fund rsonnance quite important but adgage a particular sound that allows audio prowess in freeze-picking, blues, jazz and taping .. And what all!

Regarding the report qualitprix: I got it directly from a vendor at a price of 650 euros ..... APRS well have discussed (it silent at a price of 750 departing) but Note that form Jumbo involves buying a cot that can cover specially expensive.

CEOS is shuttered, but it's lovely, is not new in takamine!
But most important: This guitar is sold with super high strings to the handle. We must therefore remove the string and remove all the blocks under the horse. After that, the strings are a little high (for me) but it's very playable. It is playing the adjustment of the handle must be able to further reduce height, but I have not yet done. The rest is 10/10, nothing to say it's all good. Everything exudes quality and this guitar is really well finished (completely in contradiction with the problem of chord height ???).
Little reflection on the problem of the strings too high (the general problem of all EG523SC): Takamine seems to lack confidence (wrongly!) And prefers to place the strings super high and avoid the risk of rope frieze ... However, the handle is good and what does not exist. Takamine should quickly address this ridiculous problem!
SOUNDS
Rock, Blues, Hard Rock. (AC-DC, Stones, Scorpions, ledzep, Guns ....+ composed characters ...)
The sound is super good acoustics (although low round and bright treble, mids are well balanced). A reproach to her? Yes, a little: lack a little personality, but if the guitarist gives himself a bit of trouble ... It does! I play Rock, Blues, Hard Rock and this guitar suits me perfectly, I love it! Of "AC / DC unplugged" to Angie through the bluesy solo crazy, I'm having with it!
Each note comes off well, I love the clean sound, you can then play on the nuances or force a bit to "dirty" sound a little ...
OVERALL OPINION
- 1 week of use
- I tried all types of guitars of all price
- I love the ROCK!
- I hate to get a guitar that we should resolve before they can play.
- The value is unbeatable, € 545, which could be better?
I recommend. I'll be back to comment in a year ...See less31ToyMoy

If not, indeed, if one seeks the parlor ct tuft of cedar in all, well have to go direct to buy a Takamine Jumbo, it's stupid. Anyway ... Just has a little m'nerve criticism while they are excellent instruments.
Anyway, for me the sound is really gnial, battery what I was looking, but quite direct super rich, full of harmonics at the point position with some game you can have a small chorus (I do not know not how to say otherwise) that have large Gibson on hard we all. I love the picking, the ARPG, major agreements, has plans if they really want is also full of subtlety when necessary. It s'coute prs as much by far! NB: It MRIT good strings (the EXP is great on it).
Branch was always the same as the piezo ct stuff keep $ 100,000 (the small electric ct of AIGS The systems with only one "real" can of micro pass) but sounds really nickel direct console or better yet, a ddi amp of course. The possible corrections are endless with the pramp is simply perfect. If you have more chance of having qq small effects, some rverb for a solo, a small chorus of pretty chords, and it was a pure professional sound is stunning for this price.
SOUNDS
I play some bluegrass / jazz picking and finger the house, especially the rock / pop-rock group: is really for all these uses, even if a fund would be half the IDAL in some cases, we can always be his little sound that does it well and let themselves go, even unplugged. Compltement I am in love. Littralement bury the guitars of friends when boeuffe, do not tell them, but it's even true
OVERALL OPINION
I bought it there a little over a year APRS cum long enough to have stores in my region, and qute Navarre Grail: I do not know what to blame, except that it is not a Gib '(but hey, it's four times the price too!). The pramp is gnial (notch + eq + phase + ... etc!) - The finishes are great classes and really, the sound is both pure and trs rich, jouabilit excellent. In addition trs trs prices are far from being prohibitive for this standard of quality. Takamine 20/20 on this one!See less30Big-bill
