I can't afford a Martin and this might be the answer. I am not a beginner, but most of my pickin is 5 String. I need a guitar I can play and sing to my Grandaughter. Jeepman |

I currently own a 6 string, and it is as good as I will ever need, I say if it plays well, it should serve you well for a number of years. |

02 Feb 01 - 09:59 PM (#388908) Subject: RE: Help: Takamine Guitars From: Inukshuk I just bought a bottom of the line Takamine with built in electrics for a working guitar. It plays as if it had been set up by a luthier. Sounds beautiful through an amp and pretty good accoustically. A lot of pros play them; watch for them on TV. My pals at the music shop say they have a lot less problems with Takamines than any other similarly priced instruments. |

I find them a bit 'light', and only ever use mine for finger picking in open Dminor (D A D F A D) For other practical purposes, I couldn't use it for much more, though. Then, again, it depends on how much work you want it to do. But certainly worth having. B. |

They have an interesting history which you can read along with some other info on this thread. Play some and see what you think, but from a quality standpoint, they're excellent. Sound, fit, feel......that part is up to you!!! Spaw |
