On 2004-07-06, Jerod Butt gave this Takamine Acoustic Guitar a 5


Purchase: I walked into Dave's Guitar Shop in Wausau, Wisconsin, where I was going to buy a reissue of a Fender Pink Paisley, because my favorite guitar player, James Burton had played it, but when I picked it up, it didn't seem like the guitar I should be playing. So I walked back by the acoustic gutiars and found this black beauty on the wall. I picked it up and I knew I just had to have this guitar. I paid about $200 dollars which is a good price, considering it was used.
Pros: Everything on this guitar is wonderful. Now I can get a pure acoustic tone.
Cons: The only thing I don't like about this gutiar is the electronics. Every time I took it out I had to give it extra force to get it back in so it would work.
Quality: The EG561C has a spruce top with nato back and sides. The fretboard is rosewood. The guitar has a special body called an FXC Artist Cutaway.

Summary: This is the guitar to get if you're a lead guitarist looking for something smaller so it isn't as hard to get a good breath for a phrase of a song.
