This is more of a Review of A M S because I am not so very patiently waiting to umbox the Takamine EF508K.
I personally want to thank you for making this happen. I do hope that the guitar is better than the two Big Brand Name guitars I returned to another dealer. I lost a lot of respect for the guitar brand.
I hope to come back tomorrow with a great review of a great guitar.

The guitar is finely crafted and well appointed. The binding and finishes are first rate. The guitar is set-up for easy playing even for musicians with smaller hands. The electronics convey the excellent low and mid tones from the instrument whether strumming or finger picking. The heavy duty deluxe case is a real plus. The guitar met all my expectations both aesthetically and sonically.

I use to use Martin guitars all the time until I got my hands on this one. The one thing I love about Takamine guitars, is that the action is already lowered. So there is no need to get your guitar set up. If you pick a lot then this is your guitar or if you are a strummer your hand will feel at ease when you hold bar chords. With curly koa you get what you pay for. What I mean by that is that koa wood has a rich tone overall. Also, when koa wood ages the tones gets more richer overtime. I love the style of the preamp pick up and the built in tuner. It sounds good plugged or unplugged. IT’S HONESTLY WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!.

I played 30 guitars throughout Denver looking for the best one that fit for me. I couldn't find anything that my budget would allow for, so I went hunting on AMS. I had two friends who own Takamine guitars, and they both sound awesome. So I took a chance to buy this one online... the tone is amazing! I ran some Elixers on it, I love the koa wood, it is a deep rich tone that I think has beat out many other guitars that I tried.

I have owned many Guitars in my life Martins,Taylors,Gibsons etc. I've never owned a Takamine before and truthfully didn't know that much about them. This Koa wood has an unbelievable tone. Magical. The guitar in itself is crafted as well as any I've ever played. I am in no way a beginner so I am very critical of the playability and tone which every guitar has distinct characteristics. This one is a keeper and will be used on many future gigs. Thanks AMS for your expedited delivery and handling of our transaction.

I have owned this guitar for about 8 years and continue to be pleased with it. Of course, it is not as "rich" sounding as a solid koa Taylor or Martin, but then again you don't have to shell out 5 big ones either. My only "complaint" is that Takamine did not make the "cool tube" pre-amp standard on this model.

Since this is all Koa wood it has a different sound than some of the other models made with traditional combinations of woods. With the auditorium body and the dense Koa wood, this instrument has a deeper and fuller sound. However, it still has great high end quality. Finally, this instrument is beautiful. I've had mine for 8 years now and lead my church band with it every week and it looks almost as good as new.
