Got a takamine

[carguy]

I have a Martin D-1, a Gibson Songwriter, an Ovation Celebrity

Deluxe, a Fender standard strat, and a junk classical guitar, but I

wanted an accoustic/electric cutaway. I sent for a Tak EG530 SSC.

Got it about a week ago. Know what? I like this guitar as good as any

I own or have played. Great tone (solid spruce top and mahogany

back and sides) great feel to the neck. It's a real comfortable

guitar. Just thought I'd give my opinion, FWIW.

Can't go wrong with a Takamine.

When I bought mine I had played every acoustic in the shop.

The sound and feel of it made me buy it.

Here's a pic of mine:

I got a new Takamine also. EG523SC - the jumbo body with cutaway. It's my first acoustic/electric so I'm learning how to get the best sound out of it. I go direct into the PA, though may route it thru my pedalboard first for the delay and compressor.

 

I like the guitar a lot but want another one that I can keep in open D tuning. Not sure if I'd get another Tak or not, but something that sounds better than the soundhole pickup in my wife's old Takamine F-310.
