Thread Name: Ever Played a Takamine guitar?
Subject: RE: Ever Played a Takamine
Hey Willie-O! Finally another GZ-300 player! What a great electric guitar; real meaty sound, like a Gibson. Gotcha beat though; paid $200 Cdn for mine, with case. Found it in a pawn shop with three strings and a cheese cutter ste up. "Whatcha want for this piece o' crap?", i sez. Great axe.

As for acoustic Taks, I got me a lawsuit Tak alrighty. solid spruce top, but no electronics. I had a piezo put in, but eventually found I just wasn't satisfied with the range for performing purposes, especially for a solo acoustic set. In a band setting the Tak was okay, though even there it lacked oomph, esp the bottom end. So i got a Larivee. I don't think I could part with the tak though; too many sweet memories; lots of songs written on her. Besides she's a great open tuning axe, and sounds particularly sweet with a slide. But I do feel bad not playing her as much as I should.          SB
