Equalizer effective medium to dig contour, Eq bypass tuner perfect notch filter for feedback ... top.

8 / 10 because no cover for mine, I think lack of key landmarks, often troublesome in open agreements and also lacks a belt clip.

UTILIZATION

Channel nickel, I usually handles just fine, large, hard to find on a 12 string. I compared it to almost all models of the price range of about 400/800 (Canadian brands, Cort, Yamaha, Guild, Fender Ibanez etc.).. Involved must be mounted well above both for comfort and even in other Takamine models are less easy (and less well connected).

Access to acute is that of a dread, not awkward and comfort idem. No surprise with this form, same as all the others.

I put 10/10 as no default has occurred.

SOUNDS

I play the fake nails to picking the above John Butler, perfect for a go at the 12-string with this style. On a Twin (Fender vintage tube so), the sound is balanced, powerful lens. The piezo mounted above also agrees to an overdrive to get the typical sound, but a micro magnetic rose is almost mandatory to have the real sound.

Coming out of style Butler, was a 12-string crystal not connected, but still powerful enough to open. Plugged into a table or an acoustic amp is excellent, the know-how in the Takamine electro is there!

By open, I am better, it becomes even more bass and power.

For the price, I have not found better, so 10/10 for me, although obviously there are better but more expensive!

OVERALL OPINION

I almost tried everything on the French market for 5 years (ex-pro with a lot of contacts).

I play it for 2 months now, I wanted to be sure of success to play our songs on the 12-string before investing more. This guitar has convinced me and I'll keep it in a heartbeat.

It remains well below its an amazing Cole Clark Larrivee or (Maton and probably not tested) in 12-string for my favorite but for that price it's just a wonder. Probably justified by the price: damage to the negatives. No cover to my knowledge, no references and no belt clip, the last two points are really annoying for a skyscraper scene. As I asked at once a strap lock screw in the heel are you, add as many benchmarks it's hard and they lack certain types of play It borders on perfect.
