Takamine EG523SC Jumbo Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Takamine EG523SC Jumbo Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar is crafted from the finest handpicked tonewoods!
Hand-crafted by expert luthiers, the Eg523SC provides players with an unmatched excellence and surprising affordability. These new guitars are built with traditional Cutaway, Jumbo bodies and feature Solid Sitka Spruce tops, and Flame Maple back and sides. These Jumbo Cutaways boast Rosewood fretboards, inlayed with Mother of Pearl and Abalone.

Takamine Jumbos feature the world famous Takamine TK40 pickup, along with the performance and value that players have come to expect from Takamine's G-Series.

The G Series from Takamine has created great controversy. Play a G Series guitar and you're apt to think it's one of the finest acoustic/electrics made. That's because it is. Actually, each one is made under the commanding rule of the luthiers who hand craft the guitars of the pros. Which is precisely why the G Series feel and sound,so good.

Subject:Splendid Guitar
Overall: I just got one of these guitars in the mail yesterday. I can't beleive the quality, beauty, sound, and wonderful neck action. I've read some other site's poor reviews, but I can't find anything wrong with mine. I'll be happy to give it a good workout and use it for lessons and performances. The block inlay's on the neck are very classy. This guitar looks and plays like upscale Guilds. I've played guitar for over thirty years, this is a steal of a deal.

I love the cutaway. It gives it versatility, so you can play various sytles of music.

VALUE:
I picked this up at Dutchs Pawn Shop in Spokane. I got it well under the 929 MSRP. They threw in case (not a very good one, but it protected it from the rain. This guitar is well worth its price.

SOUND:
This guitar just sounds great. My wife has a great ear and instruments that lack an outstanding sound just gives her migraines. She loves this guitar.

Subject:If only the action weren't too high
Overall:

QUALITY:
The guitar's action is way too high; Takamine lacks information on the guitar. They tell you the string they use but not if they are light, medium...etc.

FEATURES:
The jumbo body gives a very rich sound

EASE OF USE:
It is an acoustic guitar.

VALUE:
For the price and I compared it to a high dollar Gibson. And I was very satisfied with the quality.

SOUND:
Very rich sound.
