Overview

Living rooms, lesson studios and open mic nights suit this six string Takamine acoustic-electric, built from sapele top to back. An Indian laurel fingerboard and natural finish keep the look simple.

Sapele construction gives a warm, mahogany like voice, and built-in electronics let it go from practice to stage. Almost nothing else is specified, so check the pickup type and what ships with it.

Who it's for

New players and casual strummers who plan to plug in now and then get a straightforward guitar from a known name. Detail minded buyers will find the listing too thin to compare.
