Takamine

The Takamine EG124SC has quality features, perfomance, and good value.

Made to strict Takamine specifications, the classical EG124SC acoustic-electric guitar is made with a plywood spruce top and nato wood back and sides. The cutaway body styles provides greater fretboard access and the on-board electronics let you perform in any setting. The Takamine EG124SC offers impressive performance at a very affordable price.

Tone adjustment for the Built-In N4B Preamp is divided into the three most desired ranges for acoustic guitar sound control: Treble, Middle, and Bass. Each of these sliders allow the player to increase, or decrease each frequency range (or shelf) 5 decibels, to color the sound, or to help control feedback problems.Guitar output volume is controlled by the Gain slider, The Battery Check Switch allows the player to quickly test the available power of the user-installed 9-volt battery, while the Easy-Out Battery Compartment makes changing the battery simple and fast.

Features:

I want to say first off to clear confusion from previous h/c reviews, that it's not a 'suggestion' that this is a 'Plywood Spruce' top guitar, it's a fact. When I bought it, it was described as a 'solid spruce', both here and at the Takamine site. I got confirmation of the error at both sites, and was not confusing it w/the solid top version of the guitar. Since then, they both sites corrected the description. The electronics on my eg124c, moreover, is the basic Tp-4t. Everything else is as described.

Quality:

I think this guitar is of good quality, however, I'm getting a phantom buzzing coming from the sound whole that's not, I believe, caused by the fretboard/string alignment that I need to investigate further. Maybe other owners know what I'm talking about, and can tell me what it is.

Value:

When working properly, a better than average value. The guitar's strength is its versatility.

Overall:

I'm looking into the problem w/buzzing, but I still feel this is a good guitar, and recommend it. The sound heretofore is very articulate acoustically, but not as 'warm' as regular full shaped classicals. You can get it to that warm place w/the proper amplification. I'm using a Fishman Loudbox Mini w/very satisfying results. All the string/fretboard cures for the buzzing haven't work, and the problem doesn't translate electronically, so i'm still trying to cure that. The build-quality, still, seems a step above Yamaha's in this price range, and there are no issues w/playabilty.

Overall:
Laminated spruce top and Natio back and sides and assembly in China help keep the cost of this G series Takamine down. Compared to Yamaha's in this price range Takamine is bit better sounding and the build quality seems a bit higher. Setup was great out of the box, built in tuner is very handy. The sound here is very nice is kind of ringy as opposed to deep. Only compliant is the tuners are generic and cheap, but they are easy enough to replace. It's not a $3000 master built classical, but it is one of the nicer budget classicals that I've found, it's a good product from a good company I'm very happy with it and I'm pretty hard to please.
