Finally, a Takamine thread! I've used the Tak-A/E's over the years and find them great value for the money. Found a 'flying V' A/E years ago and was wondering if anyone else out there had ever seen one? It was made by Takamine and while it sounded crap acoustically it had a built in piezo(under the saddle, I think) that was/is as good as anything else around at the time. Should have bought it as it was really strange looking.
