12 String Tim plays this Takamine

This is my second one. The first one went down on Lake Mead during a houseboat accident. Great action, plays like a dream. Plugged in is the best sound for this Takamine. Drop the mids a little and leave the rest neutral. Love the exciter maybe a little to much. Wish the pick guard was a little bigger as I've been rubbing the finish off, just my playing style however. Ready for another one of these soon.

Easy play 12 string

Striking appearance will catch you. The ease of play, for a 12 string will amaze you. Great features and plugged sound are way above acceptable levels. This Tak is a very comfortable instrument to play and pickup controls are easy to use. My only disappointments are its lack of bottom end and no notch filter. Great guitar other than my own expectations and desires. It still serves well.

Plugged or unplugged - the Best

I shopped for 2 months for a 12-string. I played then all. Owning 2 Martin 6-strings, I REALLY wanted the Martin 12. I passed on it for this perfect Takamine. Didn't want a black guitar but, this beauty has such a sweet, beautiful sound. Plugged or unplugged, it is the best.

I am in the process of purchasing this from a friend (actually for a lot less, cuz its not brand new.) the intonation of this guitar is great. every chord you play is in perfect tune...that is a tough find with middle-line guitars. Feels nice, looks great. Very fun to play. the only thing, as previously mentioned, is you are not going to get the brightest 12-string sound unplugged. However, this guitar really stands out plugged in. Don't hesitate if this is in your price range. great 12-string!

Only if ur always plugging in...

Great EQ and pickups, so your sound plugging direct will be just fine. However, this is a laminate (plywood) instrument, which means that you will *not* get that warm, rich sound you expect from a solid wood guitar when playing acoustically or w/mic.
