"Taka MINE on to the list of great guitars!"

Feature:
Came with a battery for the preamp...a big plus! Also included a truss road wrench and nice EXP strings.

Quality:
Fit and finish was very good. Finish is perfect with no flaws; The action out of the box was actually a bit low, with some low E buzz but it has improved as the frets wear in.

Value:
Bought for 370 at a local store; couldnt be happier! A very solid, beautiful, great sounding guitar!

Desirability:
As soon as you pick this guitar up, you become instantly sexy!

Sound:
Has good bass and crystal clear highs. Plays chords beautifully. Perfect for playing live.

Ease of Use:
Its pretty easy to make it sound good. Just play it!

Support:
Not yet; although it does seem that Takamine is downgrading their service/warranties. Lifetime warranty, yes; however, owner pays shipping AND labor, only PARTS are covered!

Overall:
Should last me a very long time. I bought this guitar at a local store for its looks and low action, as well as the smooth low sounds.
