| This amazingly beautiful guitar with a spruce top and a flamed maple body is an incredible bargain! Comparable models are the Gibson J-185 that cost 4x as much! The internal pickup sounds amazing! I would defintely recommend this guitar as I add it to my current collection. | |

| Exceptionally well made, it just does NOT have any flaws!!! Looks, feel, and finish are just great!! | | Reliability:
| I just bought it, but I've had other Takamine guitars and they are super reliable and durable (my Classical is 19 years old!!) | | Overall:
| It is in my opinion a super nice instrument, the resonance, being a jumbo, the ease of accessibility and playability in the cut away, the response in action, I just can't find anything wrong with the thing!!! I waited almost a year to buy it, as I had other equipment priorities, and I did extensive research before jumping, but it was definitely worth waiting!! Sexy thing!! I love the color, and it is a pleasure to sit and play it!! Tks, Takamine!!! | | Playability and Feel:
| I like the new controls and battery set up, very accessible and visible, and it is just so easy to play, even though it's a 12 string. I just don't get tired of playing it!! | | Tone:
| It has both options, from deep and powerful to bright and present, snappy & fast!! Very wide range of tone and sound!! | | Finish:
| Immaculate!! It is so easy to clean and it just makes your fingers slide with such ease!! It is a beutiful sexy guitar!! | | Action:
| No adjustments were needed, I like to use Martin Extra Light strings with it, which was the only thing I changed, but appart from that, I love it just as it is right from the box!! | | Skill Level:

| Exceptionally well-made guitar. My first guitar was a Tak six string back in the early 1980's loved it then and I love this one now. I have Taylors, Martins, Gibsons, etc... and this ranks up there in craftsmanship. | | Reliability:
| I don't know about this one yet, just got it. | | Overall:
| Very impressed with the guitar so far - looks like a "keeper". | | Playability and Feel:
| VERY playable. Nice neck - great feel. | | Tone:
| This guitar has a bright and clean mellow sound. Tone is great plugged or unplugged. Running it through a Behringer acoustic amp is the sound is great! | | Finish:
| Ordered mine in high gloss black and it is flawless. No dings, drips, sags, etc... | | Action:
| Smooth action out of the box. Set-up for me was spot on. | | Skill Level:
