Very nice for the money

by Ralph Harper from Nashua, NH
May 8, 2013
Music Background: I play for my church and in nursing homes.
Great guitar with excellent action. It has a great sound and it's fun to play. I had an Ovation Celebrity. That was a great guitar but I like the Takamine better!

Volume !

Guitar gallery pictures did not do this intrument justice. It truly is a work of art. Fit and finish are perfect. Setup was spot on. The best thing about this guitar is the volume.

I'm amazed at the overall playability of this workhorse-high performance reliable guitar... It's ease of play allows me to sound as accomplished as I truely am.

Im less reluctant to strecth my imagination with what seems to be a willingness of the guitar to please! It felt so good I used it live the very next night after recieving this jewel. close [-]

Amazing

Music Background: Recording Engineer, Student, Artist
I absolutley love this guitar. I've owned it for a couple of months now. Really nice sound. I bought a gibson acoustic that had a smiliar design before that but then i returned it because i needed the... read more [+] money. The Gibson had a little bit smoother of a sound, not so bright, but this isn't quite as bright as a taylor. It sounds really good recorded with a blue baby bottle. Obcviously you have to have the right room for recording too. But for the money whether your recording or playing live (pretty good electronics) it's well worth it. close [-]

These people absolutely do the best job of anyone I've ever dealt with online. I highly recommend Sweetwater Sound to anyone needing anything pertaining to music. They are very helpful with what you need and I had my order in hand in two days!
