OK, so I recently quit my job (long story about nothing) and maybe it isn't the best time to be shelling out money for things like this...but I figured, what the hell? You only live once, right?
So I bought a Takamine GN51.
I got it from Reverb (actually LightSpeed Music LLC) at a real good price.
It's "used" but I can't find a mark on it and it was all set up and tuned (just need to lower the action a bit, which is pretty typical) and the preamp/tuner even had a new battery.
I've been looking for an acoustic that didn't feel like a foreign object in my hands -- something that felt more like my electrics and this is it! The fretboard has the same specs as my Epi's and the NEX body fits me like a glove and the cutaway makes it feel far more comfortable than my Martin dreadnought.
Unplugged, it's not as "boomy" as my Martin but that's exactly what I was looking for -- something I can just pick up and play without having to light up the house. And when I pipe it into an amp it enters another dimension.
I'm real glad I pulled the trigger on this!
