The fullness of a quality dreadnought for a great price.

Built on the popular dreadnought design, the Takamine EG530SC acoustic-electric guitar from the G series is a louder, more powerful-sounding instrument. The dreadnought has been the most popular and widely recognized acoustic guitar since its creation in the 1920s. Its broad top and deep body create a large resonant chamber that emphasizes bass response and provides a great deal of volume. This design excels in ensemble playing and is heavily favored by flat pick players. The solid spruce top offers balanced tone, while the sapele body brings out plenty of projection. The dovetail neck joint, rosewood bridge and fretboard, and mahogany neck offer plenty of sustain, and the asymmetrical neck and 1-5/8" nut width provide comfort for intricate fretboard movements.

At the heart of this Takamine guitar is an impressive electronics system, letting you amplify your sound with intuitive frequency controls. The CP-100 pickup is an innovative pickup design over the conventional under the saddle piezo design. It uses a U-shaped aluminum rail, securing the pickup and saddle for a snug fit and balanced response from the instrument, not just pressure on the strings. The Takamine TK40 preamplifier features volume control, bass, middle and treble frequency slider controls, EQ bypass, a notch filter, tuner and a mid contour switch.

The Takamine EG530SC guitar's chrome hardware, chrome tuners, and gloss finish adds a striking touch to this already beautiful instrument.

Amazing Guitar

Posted by John Thomson from Toronto on Dec 10, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Weekend jammer and gigger.

Reviewer's Play Style: Rock

When I went out to buy an acoustic guitar I played all the high end guitars I could and then looked for the closest sound to those that I could afford. Without a doubt this guitar was it. It sounded every bit as good as those Taylors and Martins both plugged and unplugged. You don't have to take my work for it. Try it yourself and you'll see. I let two of my friend try it for themselves and the both bought one. These guitars are amazing and very affordable. Hope you get as much pleasure out of yours as I have.
