Takimine. It's the best. I couldn't imagine playing anything else if usability and sound and generally rugged dependablility is and issue.

But I have my integrity to think about, and that's why I play a Larrivee with an emg stuck into the saddle. Sounds kind of shitty but at least it's not a Japanezze factory multinational built instrument. It's loud and doesn't feed back.

My wife plays a tak on stage. She likes it cause it's small, light and 'black' so it goes with whatever she is wearing. It always sounds great, no matter where you set the sliders and it has never given us any trouble. But I think the more 'muted' less 'clear and briliant' sound of my Larevee with the emgs in it has a more 'folky' sound.
