Unusual Takamine as it is the NEX bodyshape without a cutaway. Solid spruce top but mahogany laminate back and sides, finished in a lovely vintage looking tobacco sunburst. Pre amp is simple but very functional offering a limited but effective choice. Less is more maybe, at least for me. The neck is a standard Takamine slimline affair, comfortable but a tad narrow for the dedicated fingerpicker. The factory set up was very good with a lowish action.
Sweet unplugged acoustic tone with a good fingerpicking response, less genuine when hit harder with a pick. When plugged in the pre amp gives the ability to achieve a very good warm tone. Overall I\'m very pleased with it. I chose it for its fingerpicking/gentle strumming characteristics and I\'m not dissapointed. It\'s a good looker that responds to a light touch and the quality of the build (it\'s a Japanese made model) is very good indeed.
Takamine had a special edition version of this guitar in the States from 2001 and it seemed to be well received there.
