One of the guys in our church band has this guitar. It plays great and sounds great. It has a really bright, clear tone. He only plays it on fingerstyle pieces, and it really sounds nice plugged into the church house sound system. He has the means to buy any guitar he wanted, but decided that this guitar was a great value, and chose it over the Martins, Taylors, etc that he played. He said it doesn't necessarily sound better than the Martins and Taylors, but he couldn't justify the price of the others when the Takamine sounded so good.

Beware Takamine has a know issue with their Battery Compartment. I have had the guitar for 1.5 weeks and it makes a cracking sound when I tap the guitar or battery compartment. I have found lots of threads in this matter on the internet. Also, I talked with another person who has a Takamine and siad the battery compartment is nothing but a huge problems. He has had to stuff foam into the compartment and even then sometime it does not work.

Comments about Takamine G Series EG340SC Cutaway Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:

I have been playing guitar ever since I was a kid, so I have much experience with different guitars and different woods. It is perfect for me. I love gloss finished necks, because on certain varnish finished necks, my hand might get stuck. I really love the woods used to make this guitar. In my mind, mahogany blends perfectly with spruce. I have truly fallen in love with this guitar. The only con I can think of, is that it has a higher action than I expected. It may be a little hard to press down, but it could be lowered just a teeny bit. Don't let that discourage you from buying it though. It is very beautiful in every single way possible.

Great Guitar

By Soupy

from North Adams, Mass

Verified Buyer

Comments about Takamine G Series EG340SC Cutaway Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:

Loved the Guitar. It was in great condition and it sounded amazing. Still playing it everyday and it still ceases to amaze me. The only problem that I found was that when I played in a band and went through there sound board it wouldn't play any sound unless I had it pluged into my effects board or put the tuner on. It was strange. But none the less I love it.

Great Guitar!

By Kaleb Dye

from Edmond, OK

Comments about Takamine G Series EG340SC Cutaway Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:

I got this guitar a couple weeks ago and absolutely love it! Great action. The TP4T preamp took a little while to get used to, but its great once you learn how to use it. Takamine has affordable guitars that are actually better than the guitars that cost twice as much, this being one of the best! Absolutely love it!

I have had this guitar about a year now, its a great guitar all around, especially for someone like me whos only been playing guitar for about 2 years, its got a great sound and does everything well, it could use a little more bass in the sound but other than that its really great!!!. I have progressed and learned so much with this guitar its really easy to play.

Can't Go Wrong With This One

By 4Given

from Southeast, TN

Comments about Takamine G Series EG340SC Cutaway Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:

I have had this guitar for a couple of years now and it still sounds and plays awesome. I own a higher end Martin and yet I still find myself picking this up and playing it very often.

A dream come true

By Sparkie-s-2kW

from NE, Alabama

Comments about Takamine G Series EG340SC Cutaway Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:

I recently took ownership of my Takamine EG340SC and man is it a not only a beauty to play, but the craftsmanship is top notch. The seems from the binding and body and fret to neck areas are smooth as silk. The sound of this guitar will blow away higher-end acoustic products. My playing is by no means professional quaility so me and one of my friends put the instrument though a series of sound checks with other high-end brands at my local guitar shop and I can't believe that it has been "programeded" into us that you have to spend thousands to get great sound and quaility. That's not true with Takamine. Thanks to Takamine.

Very nice....

By Casjes

from Atlantic Canada

Comments about Takamine G Series EG340SC Cutaway Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:

I've had this guitar for about 2 years now. Very happy over all. Just two problems. One, the tuning keys tarnished badly. The dealer dragged his feet in replacing them. Now the replacement keys turning into crap. Takes about a quarter turn before you can feel the strings. Because of these keys the guitar tends to not stay in tune very long.
