Sounds: [10] Bright, punchy, good mid range with great projection. Suits indie, country, and soft rock. Just sound amazing !! Action, Fit & Finish: [9] The action come a little to high for my liking but can be easially sorted i would say if there was a down side to this guitar it would only be this,
Finish is immaculate, gorgeous wall nut scratch plate, beautiful gloss finish(I got the natural look) just really nice i could not stop looking at it. Reliability & Durability: [9] Stays in tune constantly, if it ever does go out of tune the built in tuner is a life saver.
Very well constructed with wish bone strut, and the craftmanship is superb, no glue visible inside, all wood looks very well finished. Overall Rating: [9] Solid, well made, great sounding guitar, which is easy to strum and pick. The TK40 pre amp in very good sounds top notch. PLus has a notch filter to counter act any feedback.
Guitar finish is sweet, i dont know wether to play it pr just look at it. Its also very comfortable to play, and dreded BAR chords are a breeze !!!
On a whole another excellent model from the guys and gals at Takamine. ( this is my third Takamine I love them would not have any other)
