Members DarkHorseJ27 Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 I acquired this guitar in a trade. My wife and I are getting a divorce, and she wasn't going to have access to any of my amps. I had bought that guitar for her as a gift, but she never really took to guitar. She like the bass though, and was going to need something to play it through, so she offered to trade me the Takamine for my Crate Limo. Since I already have another acoustic amp, I thought it was a good trade. The guitar plays rather nicely. Neck is a little larger than I prefer, but that is minor. It had a clear and brighter tone, but doesn't sound brittle and harsh. Good resonance too. Plugged in it doesn't sound as good as my Parker P6E, but it sounds better than most peizo only acoustic/electrics. The violin burst finish and retro stylings make it look amazing. Here is a picture of if from Elderly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost me 300K :-( Naw, I get the guitar for an amp. The divorce led to the circumstances that prompted the trade. The divorce isn't over yet, but so far things have been rather smooth. Lets hope they stay that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as her solicitor isn't the greedy type, it could work out for you.But if it turns into a mud-/bloodbath, the jurisdiction makes sure that us males end up being hung, drawn and quartered. All my best wishes and good luck to you, mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members seagullplayer77 Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Sorry to hear about the divorce, Dark. Those are never much fun for any of the parties involved. In any case, it's still a nice guitar. I don't usually care for burst finishes on acoustics, but something about this one appeals to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My particular one the finish is much darker than in the picture, but I think it looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members revive Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Sorry about the divorce. Hope you don't have kids. From my own experience as someone with divorced parents, kids always get the worst deals from the parents' divorce. If you do have kids, then you and your soon-to-be-ex wife will still need to get along and work together in raising the kids. That's the best you can do.

It was only two weeks ago she was hounding me to get her pregnant. When asked why she wanted to have a baby with me when she wanted to be with someone else, she answered, "So I would have a reason to stay".
