Takamine Review: EG544SC

History: My daughter plays guitar and flute. She has been playing guitar for 1 year and flute for 3 years. She plays flute in band at school and is hoping to play guitar in the youth group at church.

Purchase: We purchased the Takamine at Guitar Center for $499 as a Christmas present for my daughter. We searched the internet and compared prices along with trying a variety of styles for sound and comfort.

What I Like About This Takamine EG544SC: What we like most is the sound. Along with the small body size (NEX body) that makes it very comfortable to play for my 14 year old daughter. The action is very smooth and the strings are set closer to the neck so it is easier on her fingers than her beginner guitar.

What I Do NOT Like About The Takamine EG544SC: There is nothing I don't like about this guitar.

Takamine EG544SC Quality Rating: The EG544SC has a solid cedar top and Koa sides and back. It has Built-in electronics the NEWLY UPDATED TK-40 preamp tuner with more sensitive fully chromatic tuner, graphic EQ, feedback reducer & more! It has atractive inlays and the Koa wood grain is stunnning. Takamine's quality is excellent as thier reputaion exhibits.

Review Summary: We love this guitar and couldn't be happier. Great guitar for the money. She will be playing this for many years to come!

Rating of this Takamine product: 5
