Value For Money : Excellent
The others I do not know, mine is made in Japan, 20 frets with easy access to the treble cutaway.
A piezo pickup, preamp (9v battery) with settings low / mid / treble the usual location at Takamine, and chef's surprise, a tuner LED's handy.

For the price, it is (not) given with a beautiful Takamine bag with golden metal plate and closures. It does! It is also the difference with a cheaper guitar, no doubt.

UTILIZATION

I had in mind a Takamine or Seagull, after testing I decided for it because of race, which suited me better. It is pleasing to my hand size, well finished (at that price it's still normal). I still wonder if my 12-string is even better, a score.

Shape, weight: SAR, it does not fall when playing seated, and with a shoulder either.

Access to acute, I am repeating myself but the cutaway is better than the pan not cut, even if it the heel of the neck anyway, it's pretty easy to play.

To get a good sound: take the guitar, scratch ...

SOUNDS

Acoustic yes, no problem is rich and balanced.
Amplified in this course depends on the amplification equipment.
With my little VOX AD30VT clean sound is good, no need for reverb or other effects.
On my bass amp, it obviously has a more distinctive sound very serious, but ultimately fairly balanced anyway, and doing well. Advantage of the bass amp: not only serious but also because the level with the preamp, it comes out as an active and bass amp is designed for this kind of level better than the VOX. The best would be an amp for electro but hey, there really should make room.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased a large music store / internet in Germany (Treppendorf to be exact) last week, it makes me want to play all day, to the detriment of the dog, a job, the girlfriend ...

I tried various so-so guitar, Seagull and then one or two other Taka, but this is the one who made the difference.
What I like most is the sound, and ease of play, then the pace because she is very beautiful, and finally electronics, and then still, with the bag.
Value for money: she seems well placed, not cheap for what it is, nor expensive. This may be others that are less expensive for their ease of play, sometimes the lack of electronics. For sound, it's a matter of taste so I said nothing, but still this one is nice to hear.

With experience, I would try many decades acoustic show, but it is likely that I would do this choice.
