"It makes you play better."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

The sound is clear and also full. I am looking for just the right amplifier(inexpensive, but good.)

Feature:

The tuner is first rate. I teach a guitar class and the tuner really helps when things are a bit noisy.

Ease of Use:

Even if your not an experienced player, this guitar helps you sound like your on a slightly higher playing level.

Quality:

The guitar is solidly made. It is also physically attractive.

Manufacturer Support:

I have yet to deal with Takamine directly.

Value:

Definitely worth the money.

The Wow Factor:

It is a very physically appealing guitar. I am trying to find a hardshell case to keep it that way.

Overall:

I don't get rid of my instruments.

"Good Price, Good Sound, Good Value"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

I would say 8/10. The tone is flat for just playing without amplification, but it really shines when plugged in. The pre-amp does a good job but seems to go through the 9 volts faster than I expected, this could be do to the fact that, at least on my model there is no way to easily turn off the pre-amp except to pop it out of the guitar--and then I am still not sure if it is using juice.

Feature:

The fact of a classical guitar with a neck rod is a plus to me. I haven't adjusted the action but can if I really want to tweek it. The pre-amp is fine but it would have been nice for a novice to get a bit more literature on want the different setting do. Need to do the trial and error route.

Manufacturer Support:

Not sure. No issues.

Value:

This guitar is a great value. Rosewood back and sides for the $600 more I could have paid would have made my afraid to take it out of the house. I have a old Takamine classical I have had for twenty years and it sounds better than ever.

The Wow Factor:

Like women (or men) it depends on what you want. I looked at least a hundred guitars and was going to buy the high end version of this guitar, but I happened into another store and played this one and bought it on the spot. Good sound, good price.

Overall:

I actually would replace this. I someone gave me the upgrade to fancy wood, sure I would take it, but it isn't necessary. Only one complaint, I want an on/off switch/button for the pre-amp perhaps with a light so I know when I am burning battery, not just when it is going dry.
