I bought this guitar in 1998 and It sounds better every year! Ive never had any work done on it, and dont need to. I'm a working musician and it doesn't get better than this little one as far as I'm concerned. the only other guitar I've played in the studio is a 62 gibson when i want some major twang! I highly recommend this guitar

Great guitar. I've had mine for almost 4 years, and it's great. Great plugged in, but unplugged it's pretty quiet because of the body size. It's really made to be plugged in. Like i said, my guitar for life, but i'll probably get a dreadnought or jumbo-body eventually for unplugged stuff.

I have owned this guitar for about 8 years now and enjoy everything about it. Beautiful looks and sound. Great tone and volume for a smaller-bodied guitar. It especially shines when played through a quality amp. Great value guitar.

Takamine EF-261 Great guitar

I own this guitar and its tone is excellent. If you have the money to buy it do so. I was lucky to pick one up for a third of the actual retail price but I would have paid in full had I not looked around... Great guitar and I've had other Sante Fe models to including the ESF-40c the guitar that Howie Day plays. Its just as good.
