Takamine EG523SC 12 string Electro-Acoustic

by Gig Stig

 Another beautiful guitar from the guys at Takamine, this 12 string model sounds full and bright to the ear and looks fantastic in flamed maple and spruce.

Although the neck is wider, it does not feel cumbersome and open chords have a lovely resonant sustain to them whilst the acoustic volume of this instrument is LOUD.

The on-board guitar tuner will be a handy addition when trying to tune all 12 strings and the pre-amp EQ helps to shape the amplified sound to re-create the acoustic qualities of the instrument.

When amplified the guitar retains its full and resonant tones whilst the EQ helps to boost the bottom end and deliver low frequency oomph …

There is little to criticise about this guitar suffice to say that it is by no means a budget or entry level model and will set you back a penny or two, however you will be getting a beautiful, lovingly crafted instrument that sounds fantastic and will undoubtedly improve even more over time …
