Good value.

The Takamine G-Series acoustic guitar was my first guitar and I'd have to say that it was a very versatile acoustic guitar for a beginner. It has a tone that is unlike any other that i've played or its price for about $500 ($800 when i first purchased it).

Great service and satisfaction at Manny's music in NYC

I got this guitar at Manny's music in NYC, they could have pushed me toward a more expensive guitar but respected my need and pointed me in the right direction. I love it.
