"Amazing guitar at a great price!"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

Amazing sound when not hooked up to an amp, slightly awkward when it is. I never have any reason to amp mine anymore anyway, but I love this guitar.

Feature:

Very well-built and extremely durable. I love the finish on it. No built-in tuner or anything fancy, but for the price, what do you expect?

Ease of Use:

Very nice guitar. Very easy to use, great for beginners - pros

Quality:

The only difference I've noticed between this and the actual Takamine is the built-in tuner and the neck is a little wider on these. Wonderfully built guitar! I've had this guitar for over 4 years, it's been through extremes of heat and cold (one winter night I left it in my car on accident and it even made a nice split in the paint) still stays perfectly in tune, even with traveling. This guitar has been to multiple states and even took a trip to Germany with me.

Manufacturer Support:

Heard good things about Takamine, but I've never had to deal with their support.

Value:

Easily worth double or triple the typical selling price.

The Wow Factor:

I have this one, but like I said, it's been all over with me and is scratched to hell. I've been thinking about getting the Takamine G-series "equivalent" but I may just get another one of these.

Overall:

Had it for over 4 years and no real complaints. Plan on keeping it a very long time!

"A wonderful guitar for a wonderful price."

Sound:

Compared to the Martins the guys I play with use this guitar stacks up quite nicely. They paid 3 times as much as I did and my sound quality is almost as good.

Feature:

No accessories, but the electrics are nice in it. Never had trouble with it and it sounds great. Nice guitar

Quality:

Beautiful. Superb quality all the way through. Plays wonderfully after riding with me 1/2 hour or more to play. Couldn't ask for better craftsmanship than this, and for the price it's unbeatable

Manufacturer Support:

I have not had any need to contact the company so far.

Value:

Are you kidding? This price for this guitar? I can't imagine getting a better quality instrument that sounds this good for this price. One of the best deals I've ever found.

The Wow Factor:

Everyone loves this guitar. The rich black finish adds a little distinction to it. In a world of woodgrains, the black makes it look a little different, and I think a little better. Even if this guitar didn't sound as good or wasn't made as well as it is it would still be worth it just for the look of it.

Overall:

A 9 seems a little low to me, but it's not quite a 10. I'll play this thing until it breaks, which should be a very long time from the way it's made. You can pound on it or lightly strum it and it sounds wonderful either way. Can't beat the quality for this price. Yeah, there are nicer guitars out there, but for several times the price. If you want a good guitar but don't want to have to take out a loan to get it then I would definitely give this one a good look.

"One of the best acoustic guitars made. Takamine quality without the Takamine price."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

Excellent Rich sound. It's a Takamine through and through.

Feature:

It could use a built-in tuner, but for the price, it can't be beat.

Quality:

One word...Takamine

Value:

Don't let the price fool you, this guitar is awesome and I would pay three or four times as much as I did for this guitar.

The Wow Factor:

Excellent shape and color, I love the way it feels, plays, and sounds.

Overall:

This guitar is as good as everyone else said it is. If something happened to this one, I'd definitely be buying another one.

"One great guitar for the money."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

I just got this guitar for a starter. I am impressed! Sounds great right out of the carton with minor tuning. Had my son, the real guitar player, hook it up and try it out. We were both impressed. He said he wasn't expecting this kind of sound when he heard the price I paid for it. Sounds great either way...I'm anxious to try it on my Acoustic Amp that is on the way.

Feature:

Simple, but doesn't really need anything more.

Ease of Use:

Onboard passive controls aren't anything special, but got any sound we wanted from the amp controls and this was a Marshall electric guitar amp.

Quality:

This was purchased as a blem, but we certainly can't find any real flaws. Beautiful, well made guitar.

Manufacturer Support:

Nothing yet, although the Takamine and Jasmine websites look like they have a lot of information.

Value:

120 bucks??? I might as well of stole it. Blows away any deals we've looked into at the local shops.

The Wow Factor:

I got the black. Even if I don't use it as much as I plan, It looks wonderful in our living room. Really striking.

Overall:

After listening to my son play it for me, it will be a long time before I will be looking for a better guitar.

"kercha!"

Sound:

Sounds great!! Really awesome guitar!

Feature:

Really great looking except i think the white color on it is a little too plasticy looking, other than that, gnarly!

Quality:

excellent guitar here, for real, the wood is very nice the tuning machines are better than most, and the whole playing ability is awesome!

Manufacturer Support:

cool stuff!

Value:

this is a crazily serious guitar, great for beginners, intermediates, and even experts! it is better than most $500 guitars! i'm quite experienced too, i've been playing since i was 8 and i am now 32. i needed some cheap guitar to play on for a while, and now i dont think i will get a different one, i like this one the way it is.

The Wow Factor:

oh yeah!

Overall:

i would say 9.5 just because i didnt fully like the tiny hint of plastic looking white color on it, but they dont have 9.5 so i rate this baby 10!
