Thread Name: Ever Played a Takamine guitar?
Subject: RE: Ever Played a Takamine
I have played two different Takamine classical acoustic guitars for nearly 20 years. Both sound very good, for the money. My son occasionally uses one of them with a pickup attachment in his rock band and is very happy with the sound.
After playing my neighbor's custom guitar recently, I got spoiled with both the feel and the amazing projection and sound quality, along with a neck that was much easier to navigate. I'm now looking for a concert quality classical instrument, though I know it won't come cheap. The Tak necks have always seemed a little fat and wide to me, and the contrast really came home when I played the other guitar. It was also nice not to have to pick so aggressively to get good volume.
