I'm very pleasedAugust 17, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this guitar from Amazon several months ago and I've been very pleased. I've always been told that it is best to learn to play on an acoustic guitar, and after having an electric guitar sit neglected in the corner of my room, I decided I needed to get serious about my playing. I came here because I was looking for a deal, but I was wary when I saw the price of this guitar. However after reading all the reviews, I purchased it and have never looked back. This guitar is amazing. I play it every day -- it's such a great beginner guitar, needless to say much better a beginner guitar than a Strat. It stays in tune, all the notes are so profoundly audible, the woodwork and strings are of great quality; I'd recommend this guitar to anyone, experienced or not.
This guitar has really inspired me to get busy playing, just because it's so worth the money. Best $100 I've ever spent.
My daughter is happyJuly 7, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this as a gift for my daughter who just learned to play guitar, but she has been playing violin for the past 19 years since she was five.
She liked it so far, but I am sure her expectation was partly based no the price paid. The guitar sounded pretty good to me who has not played any instrument.

A review in one word: "Smooth"December 29, 2007 37 out of 37 found this review helpful
Smooth the the touch. Smooth to the ear.
Takamine's model designation for this is 'S35'. In my estimation, the 'S' must stand for 'solid', 'smooth', 'superb', 'special' or just plain 'sweet'.
This guitar seems to be perfect for a beginner or amateur/recreational player.
The construction and overall quality are very impressive. From the solid fit and finish to the easy to tune/maintain hardware - this guitar is top notch.
Looks-wise, the finish is darker than pictured and is matte not glossy. The finish will not show finger prints like a gloss-finished black bargain basement model. This is one good looking instrument that looks like it cost far more than it does. It features a warm, rich wood tone exterior.
The sound produced by the guitar is brilliant and warm. In terms of playing, the action doesn't seem to be too high as indicated in other reviews. I find this to be a very easy instrument to play and keep in tune.
This guitar will never be mistaken for a cheap guitar. Compared to other 'entry-level' offerings, this product is in a different class. This guitar has received several "wows" and more than one "beautiful" from friends and family.
Thanks to Takamine for producing a great product at an affordable price. It is encouraging to see that a true value can be had that allows just about anyone to put a quality musical instrument in their hands.
In shopping for guitars I checked out higher-priced models from all kinds of makers. To be sure, a higher-priced Takamine or Martin will impress your friends and make you the envy of your neighbors. But pound for pound, this is the best guitar that I have tried out.
If given the choice, I would purchase one again with no hesitation.
Beautiful InstrumentDecember 26, 2007 11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I bought this guitar from Austin Bazaar as a Christmas gift for my 13yr old daughter who is keen to learn to play. It was excellently packaged and is a beautiful instrument. We could not believe the quality of the sound! It has a superb tone and is impressively crafted. Excellent value for money. We will certainly be recommending it to others.
