As I've said before I like my Tak. I bought it in Fayetteville Arkansas in 1980 for $180 and it is like a second skin... had a good case too since I ran over it with the car a few years back and it was okay! It is also a good guitar to hand around when people beg to try your guitar after a gig...as Doug Gauss said the other day after the DoneyGals played the BDC, as a girl was beggin to try it, "sure, that's why they call it a take mine!" harpgirl
