UTILIZATION

Trs handle enjoyable, the glossy finish gives the instrument a touch trs enjoyable .... slipped and it's great fun. Guitar PSE 5kg and is very well balance.
Play acoustic sound is bright, crystal-clear. The sound is good IMMEDIATE (provided you have good agreement Prior to the bte of course!)
And plug it !!!!!!!! is a pure joy. The sound is round, deep, the bass is full and rich.
I MODEL prfr on this there is no pan shot to win more rounded sound and amplitude. Then the pan once on this type of guitar is really a sham, or simply because the Aesthetics attack bends Most recent internship in Relva boxes of the exploit (or madness) ...

SOUNDS

A 12-string is a very special choice. We can not just play with this type of instrument, but you plant it on a beach, light a fire, invite some friends (s), get your thermos of ginger juice and your collection of Eagles is the partoches you are the king of the world. Is that happiness for walks and play the other titles Tracy Chapman.
Group connected to a sound system with a lgre rverb and is the Thrills. Plug it into a Marshall amp sound and you do the more your gluteus CPDA the stool. It is on this amp I tried the instrument shop and I did not see the time passing ... "hey ho, we close!"

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a few weeks I enjoyed myself by buying this guitar that offers exceptional value qualitprix. Many stores offer the 790, but shop around, I found 630. Of course take the fly box immdiatly Takamine ad hoc (105), because on the one hand it is beautiful, robust and efficient, but also because it is unthinkable not to this type of instrument being protected from shocks and other scratches caused by handling too rough and hazardous.
I compared the EG523SC12 several other guitar. I chose the Takamine for various reasons. First is a personal trs I Takamine background (I possde a EN10C I'm really happy) and also for Aesthetics. Moreover it is one of the few in these prices offer a beautiful finish with a sound so "cathedral". Deep bass sound (in electro) the amp is also great with the tuner Intgr bypassing the eq etc ... A single false note in the table, the lack of a second strap lock, yeah need to set the strap at the top of the handle ;-(
If c'tait again? Plutt twice that!

- The sound is soft and shiny,
- The resonance is strong enough (mini-jumbo, it helps!)
- The preamp (TK4NT) is really good
(Including the built-in tuner for those interested)
- The finish is very good (table and beautiful rosette, chrome tuners, etc., the rest on: https://www.takamine.com/?fa=detail&mid=742&sid=69)

UTILIZATION

- A comfortable handle that gives a pleasant feel.
- As the model 6 string, I found a string height a little too high (it's still a 12-string ... but the six strings, she became hard to master!).
-> Access to the boxes in the middle and top of handle is limited (despite the cutaway) but is this the goal of a 12-string?
- Not playing every day on this guitar, I find that the strings move a lot. and 12 strings (with or without octave) is a little more tedious to give 6 ...
-> The tuner is very sensitive (especially on the upper strings) to the force of the attack: an attack too strong and the tuner sees that the rope is too high, if you do not attack strong enough, the signal is sometimes not sufficient for it to turn on.
for strings, I recommend a tyrant too strong (Tirana normal and that's it!)
I do not know what that may exist in this area, 12 strings, it leaves a small gap between the strings and work for the fingers

SOUNDS

Many present with this kind of instruments ... consider it as a rhythm guitar would be very gear! we do not play that kind of stupid as a 6 string, but also in acoustics, it is very sound.
the sound is quite go anywhere, change the pick and the world is yours.

OVERALL OPINION

Points +:
. in addition to sound quality ...
. I must admit that this guitar has the face! size commands respect and its light color and glossy finish make shade for the neighbors ... exhilarating ...

points -:
. the agreement is not child's play (and God knows it's not, however, a task that usually takes me a lot of time and energy ...). I do not know if it comes from my worries instrument or model (rather unfortunately I think the model).

conclusion:
I think this guitar is proposed by Takamine at a good price / quality ratio (a year ago, when I purchase prices oscillated between 650 and 800 euros).
the box is not a luxury for this kind of instrument (+ / - 110 euros).
good instrument to start the 12-string but to try before you buy very carefully: ca ask a lot of work and envy. (But after you get tired of it any time soon!)
frail-voiced singer, not: it takes to cover the sound of the beast!

See below or the site of Takamine.

Mine was the second strap lock.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable, some would say it is too large ... It's a matter of taste. In any case it is well done, trs right and slides perfectly.
The guitar is very well balance, but a little heavy stepfather.

SOUNDS

I find the sound of this guitar beautiful. Trs lens, powerful, rich with harmonics spellbinding. Those in front of the guitar are earful.

Amplified, it is a real treat, thanks to prampli it restores a magical sound.

OVERALL OPINION

The tuner Intgr TK 40 T gnial. Even if the guitar does not dsaccorde almost. The absence of the ankles must be for something.

What I like most is the color of the guitar with his ribs and back Rabl. It is clear as the sound it projte and out of the ordinary.

I ordered it without trying and just because of apprhendais DIFFERENT opinion on the forums that are not all soft with this guitar. However, many have tried wrong RULES ... I suspect that this is not the same instrument if you do not have to press a on the strings.

The report seems to me unbeatable quality price for such a guitar. 750 euros with a flight case (required to avoid damaging the box)

c'tait again if the question does not even arise. This quitar lcherai I do it for the world!

Made in korea.
Plutt is the high end of the series at takamine. intgr tuner very useful.
the finish is flawless, gloss and dcor a little cowboy is not the most sober ...
Saddle the flame back and fishplates is very beautiful. pica in the table (what espce? mystery ...) has a solid little since purchasing function in contrast with the more Rable very white damage.

UTILIZATION

The neck seems very good but I lack of experience. I do not play LATEST frets. the guitar is large but does not pose a problem of adaptation. yes the sound is good immediate, whether acoustic or electro.
Previous compared my guitar, a much smaller range, I feel I play with a "real guitar". overall (with no distinction from manche/tirant/12 strings) I would play station empty, soft and comfortable but a little heavy and tiring ride.

SOUNDS

I play chordal accompaniment or arpges. I play everything with it and I adapt to its caractristiques performer when I can not make it sound like I would.
she has a palette Plutt tense sounds. dj dynamics is very important: we can play trsdlicatement fingers, it sounds dj with a beautiful harmonic richness and excellent sustain, and can also carrment "beat up" at m diator, it follows without cap or make porridge or lose in harmonics, quite the contrary! arpges them are beautiful.
spontanment its register is pluttmdium. I regret Lger lack of bass that I more or less correct in my game I also tried to use rods greater on E and A major. has seemed to help a little. in terms of strings I tried: the GHS posphore bronze PB615 I have not liked (his sour), the Martin M200 Silk & Steel - very nice color but unfortunately lost Supp tary power and presence in the bass (the loss of projection on the other registers are not teachers, there are more than enough!), d'addario EZ940 85/15 Great American - for their draft harder on the strings, not bad at all but I think my prefers are the D'Addario EJ36 80/20 Bronze - similar to those fitted as original equipment on its most corpulent, rich and warm, just try to mount a stronger pull on E and A the next time.
plugs into the sound system it sounds very good right now, sound very natural and warm, with plenty more bass (you have to adapt!) note all the same buzz as the problem often on electro, despite my attempts to remove the mass on the cable.

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year. I play many, many, many more since I have. I do not releases them and I love it, this does not mean that I worship no other guitar course!
I have been offered and so I have not tried other models. my benefactors me just say that the report was excellent quality and price in the store, only a model that has twice (truly possible) more expensive silent better (but much better!).
I think without having a personality that makes you a slap, it sounds really good and allows the guitarist who plays fully expressed. him to do the job! lol
I'm really glad I opted for a 12-string, it's beautiful and original. the choice of this model I did not keep but I think a long time!
