Best value:
Excellent
Made in Japan like any other high-end guitars from Takamine.
Natural Series for professionals or amateurs who are looking for more sophisticated guitars of good quality and reliable on stage.
Type: Dreadnought cutaway (with cutaway) for access to acute
Solid cedar top, back and sides solid mahogany, too.
Frets and Rosewood
Tube preamp, very nice and convenient because the tuner is built.
Global Manufacturing is simple but neat. Japan's pledge of quality.
No decoration but the key is loaded in the quality of wood used.
UTILIZATION
The handle is easy to play and I share the same comments on other reviews.
Ergonomics is good but hey, a dreadnought could not agree all sizes. It is quite impressive nonetheless.
Access to acute is ok with cutaway ..... but it does not stretch on an acoustic anyway.
SOUNDS
Many critics criticize this Takamine guitar (Takamine or in general) but I think it sounds good. The sound is warm is subtle. It must be some playing time so that it opens new because it sounds a bit steep (be patient a little).
I can tell you that this is a good guitar because I have the chance to be proud owner of a Martin D28 and a Taylor 414. Evidence that Takamine yet still my home and I play very often.
A lot of my friends even prefer the Takamine in his warm, result of mixing cedar & mahogany.
Regarding power I have to admit that it does not have an impressive chest, but once connected it works wonders with his tube preamp, connected to an acoustic amp, preferably as the result is not the same if you plug it into a amp for electric guitars.
Overall, this is an elegant guitar is easy to get into a mix. It does not sound as bad acoustics despite its pure sound power while a lil bit limited.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about 2 years and I am always pleased with her, or even more happy because it has really improved with time.
I had the "opportunity to play a lot of scratch for a number of years and I chose this guitar for its discreet appearance, its balanced sound and warm, and of course for the Cool Tube preamp.
What I like most is that this Takamine is simple, it sounds great perfect complement to my set.
The price / quality ratio is good despite a growing number of competitors in size that make very good guitars in Asia.
With experience, yes I do it again the choice.
