Advantages: This is a well-built guitar that has plenty of appeal and sounds like the most expensive guitars on the market. Disadvantages: This guitar has BRIDGE PINS! GOD, I HATE BRIDGE PINS!
...the acoustic guitar - a Takamine G-Series, to be more precise.
I've been playing on and off since I was about eight years old (more "off" than "on" trust me). When I first started, I could pick up even the most beautiful, perfectly built guitar and my solos would sound like...Tomcats fighting over the lady feline. Howling, off-key, grinding crap that annoyed my mother and drove half of my four siblings delightfully mad! Oh yes, Sarah did suck royally!!!
... ...I ended up with my Takamine – the best guitar I’ve ever had the privilege of playing.
**THE LOWDOWN**
I am the proud owner of a Takamine G-240 acoustic guitar. It features a solid top, rosewood fret board, rounded body (without the sharp cutaway that just does not appeal to me personally), solid pick guard, basic rosette, chrome tuning keys, solid and classy-looking machine head assembly, and a basic bridge assembly. When a string is ...

Advantages: A nice, affordable guitar - and available left handed! Disadvantages: The Graphic eq is not that effective.
I bought my Takamine G series (EG54 left handed) about 2 years ago, and simply love playing it. I admit I'm not a huge fan of acoustic music, but this guitar certainly helped. Its a pleasure to play, with an amp or without - the neck is nice and fast for an acoustic and just feels good to play. The guitar has some weight to it as well, which i like, as it feels like your are actually playing a crafted instrument rather than some plastic cheap toy. ... ...a really pleasing instrument.
The simple to use controls like gain, eq bypass and the 3 band Eq make dialling in a fairly great tone easy, and although i don't really need the tuner, its handy as a quick reference to make sure your really in tune. However, I've found that the 3 band tuner mentioned above doesn't really have a huge effect to my ears, but that might be more to do with my amp than the Eq itself (admittantly, I don't really use it as ...

Advantages: Performance against price, changeable pre-amp Disadvantages: No hard case
...christmas santa brough me a Takamine G-510s semi-acoustic guitar. It features a solid top, rosewood fret board, rounded body, basic rosette, chrome tuning keys and a basic bridge assembly. It also has a pre-amp with built in tuner, notch fiter and graphic equaliser. Guitar output volume is controlled by the Gain slider. The guitar volume is off when the slider is positioned all the way to the zero position. Desired guitar volume can be easily adjusted ... ...and below the zero point.
Takamine is the only manufacturer to feature interchangeable preamps in its instruments. All SoundChoice preamps are easily removable, so you can have different preamps for different applications, styles or venues.
The G-Series 510s features a long neck, with a nice round hand action, not too wide.
The hardwood top is of a light color, with a clear shellac finish to preserve the natural beauty of the wood. The strings ...
