Takamine TSP178AC Thinline Acoustic-Electric Guitar
I have been playing guitar most of my life. At 65 years young, I can most definitely say, I've owned an awful lot of guitars in my life. One could argue, way too many but like most of us players, we are constantly looking for that one. Sorry my friends, this guitar is not that one but it is a nice guitar. I have been looking for something a bit more comfortable to play, something that didn't dig into my arm and leave that crease after playing for an hour or so. I considered a Washburn comfort series guitar for a while but after playing a few, decided they weren't up the standard I was use to out of Washburn. I had played Takamine for years but at this point , didn't own any of them. My standard was a Taylor 814 that I sold after 10 years because I just never really liked the neck. I loved the sound of the Taylor though. I ended up with a Breedlove which I still have today ( along with 16 or so other guitars ) but when I saw the Takamine, well I just couldn't stop looking at it. Just beautiful is all I could think so after many months of pounding my head on the desk top, I finally pulled the trigger on this purchase to. It really is a nice guitar, not perfect but very nice. I love the look, the neck is classic Takamine. Beautiful frets and fretboard with a gorgeous finish. Unplugged, it is not a great sounding instrument ( never thought it would be ) but plugged in, it can sound wonderful. It's super light, which I love and slightly smaller than I thought it would be. All OK by me. It did fit the parameters I was trying to get to in a new acoustic guitar so I'm happy with it. I hope this helps someone else who is trying to make a decision on one of these instruments. I think I would have tried the Koa version had I been able to get to Sweetwater personally but the look of the blue burst on this guitar just won me over.
