I have a G series, which is nice to play anyway. I use it for writing and generally noodling at my desk. The sound is not too bad considering the price, but I do dislike the pick-up tone on all Taks. Very plastic and artificial to my ears. I tried installing a spare passive I-beam, and feeding the signal into the pre-amp, but it didn't work. If I ever had to take it to a gig in an emergency, I'd use an instrument mic, not the transducer.

(I think the Gs are solid top lam sides and back. Mine's improved with age, but not a whole lot).
